Attached is a sketch (I do not have any imaging) I made on December 15,
2001, at 23:59 Central Time from Onamia, Minnesota.  I was using a 10"
reflector.  I know that I am just an amateur, but there appeared to be a
"bulge" to NGC 2985.  Could you check this for me? I have not been able
to find a reference image that has this shape.  I am usually pretty
accurate on my sketches.
NGC 2985 is located at:

RA             '09:45:52.6'
DEC     = '+72:30:45

I might be willing to estimate that the mag. of the "blob" was better
than 12 but not better than 10.  Well, there you have it.  I have never
done anything like but I thought it was worth a try.
