This was a strange one. I took a photo of Ursa Major (2 min. using 800 ASA Fuji Super G film) and when I got it developed and went to my Skt Atlas 2000.0 to pinpoint the stars, I picked up two strange blobs of light. After checking another sky atlas, I realized that I picked up two very faint galaxies on film. NGC 3898 and NGC 3888 were a complete surpirse. The sky gods were very kind to me that night.
