could it be?

I was astonished.

I checked my Ursa Minor sketch against my naked eye chart and SkyTools3.



Crazy!

Last night I was pretty sure I saw HD 143803. Just inside the bowl, west of η and 19 UMi. And that is a mag 6.9 star!

Is is possible to see that deep?!

Started polling RASC members if this was humanly possible...
