    I have a question…When I recorded NGC 3556  on Tuesday night (also known as M108, spiral galaxy in Ursa Major near M97 the Owl Nebula), I noticed a star superimposed on the galaxy near the nucleus.

    Is this a foreground object or is there some sort of nova activity going on in M108?

    If any of you active cold weather observers are out tonight, I'd appreciate anyone giving this a look.

    Thanks!
