Looking for comet Lulin. Toured around Leo for a while and picked up M44 the Beehive. I've always liked the ancient Chinese name for it though. 'The exhalation of piled up corpses'. I suppose only the Chinese could think of a name like that.
Anyway, while in Leo and looking for Ceres, which I couldn't find:
The trio of M95 M96 and M105. Very faint.
