Mark and Rony,
Thank you both for the nice words.

Mark,
I think about John Dobson nearly every time I observe. He more than anyone made it possible for many including myself to think it possible to build a telescope from scratch of large enough aperture to actually see deep-sky objects like this galaxy well. His contributions to amateur telescope making are enormous.

Rony, That is an interesting statement you make about all those (320) deep-sky targets brighter than NGC 5907. As much as I enjoy the challenge of trying to find galaxies from home; it is a lot more exciting to do this under dark skies as you well know. That would be a good project for a younger observer from a light polluted environment.
Frank
