5907, was OR Plettstone

Some galaxy, huh Greg? Thanks for the fun OR, we got nicely skunked here
locally.
Just went to look at my notes on that amazing galaxy, and they make a handy
example of how we see more the more we look at stuff -

Coe, April Fool's Night for real, 2000: Off M102 (5866) toward iota Dra,
bright spindle.

Devastated 21 July ‘01, What a sharp knife-edged spiral! with slim dust
lanes. It was before that, 23 June ‘01, when Jeff C was showing off 5907 in
his 15 at LSA.

2 July ‘03 from Peak, Took up almost 60% of the 10mm field, showing a sharp
core with a bright linear nucleus moving away from the core. Tight long arms
with braiding. This is a mondo edge-on. This time I spotted a bright region
halfway out the southern arm.

Better go look again!
