you would think so.



But the galaxy I observed was right next to a LEDA galaxy, but it had no designation.



oh well, it will probably never happen again.



By the way, the "unknown" galaxy I observed is 1.2' NW of LEDA 86836.  Both galaxies were visible about 50% with d/v and held steadily with a/v, but the "unknown" galaxy actually was the first one seen as it moved into the FOV and appeared brighter than the LEDA.



Thanks!

most of the MAC galaxies would be in the Leda million galaxy
database. The MAC numbers have no official designation.
