Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

M98 had a distinct core, although it didn’t appear stellar. It was aligned at a PA of about 160 degrees. The southwest edge was sharpest and it was brightest along the southeast spine. I couldn’t detect any mottling. The neighbors kindly left their porch lights on for me all night.<\/p>\n
