Jason,
At about what time were you viewing this object? NGC 147 kind of fits the picture, but it would be really late before this hit around zenith. Hmm.. let me see, other galaxies that are kind of within that vicinity that fit the sketch....NGC 7640, NGC 7331 ( this was my first guess..I had viewed this late last night myself and it was pretty close to zenith..it matches you sketch at high power )..and that looks like all I can find that matches the sketch in my software. There is heavy galaxy population within Andromeda, Cassiopeia, and Pegasus but most of them have extremely low surface brightness and are very faint, especially in an 8" dob.
Let us know when you find out. You have me all curious now! :]
regards,
Dain
