Okay, very good. I will continue then. So this last piece is a segment I like when I check in with Burnus I do like to do a little research and share a piece of astronomical history that kind of relates to the period of time that we're doing that net. And today I'm focusing in on a corner of the northern sky that we don't often talk about. It's very close to Ursa Major. In fact, I would have guessed that this was in Ursa Major if I had to guess before I researched it. But it's in Canis Venecetae, the hunting dogs, and I'm talking about M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy. So if you sweep your telescope just below the handle of the Big Dipper you might notice what appears to be a faint puff of light.
