[Michael Gartland <mgartlan@iconn.net>]

Here is a teaser....I just uploaded a redone picture of M51...this negative has
sat in the junk box for years....I do not have the specific date but it was
shot sometime between March 3 and March 11 1997....can anyone identify the
asteroid on the upper right of the connecting arm?
