Attached is a web picture of the Draco triplet I found last night as a spiral (NGC 5985), elliptical and edge on spiral(NGC 5981) all came up in the field of view as I centered the elliptical NGC 5982. NGC 5985 and 5981 are not Herschels and as I located 5982 on the Sky Atlas 2000 I noted 5981 was not on the sky atlas. I believe it is because there was not a bright center to 5981 and would be difficult to see in even large aperature telscopes.    Report
