Re: NGC 5907 Splinter in the Dragon

Great sketch Frank! The splinter is one of my favourite galaxies. It's just so thin! I guess you've already seen NGC 4244 in CVn, which I found to look very similar to the Splinter. Some catalogues claim that it's brighter than NGC 5907, but I think it's fainter by at least 1 magnitude, and somewhat smaller in size.
