Bill,
The obvious problem with Jason's sketch being M32 is that M32 is round. NGC 205 (aka M110) is elongated like Jason's sketch shows. Does anyone notice the amazing resemblence between Arowana's NGC 205 sketch and Jason's?
It's easier for an inexperienced person to think M32 is a star (albeit a huge fuzzy one) and miss it, than for him to completely miss NGC 205 with an 8" scope under reasonably dark skies.
