Description:
Slightly fainter galaxy with an elongation of 1:4 in the SSE-NNW direction. Its core is like a faint, out of focus star. Surprisingly easy to see this galaxy with my little 114/900 Newtonian, with direct vision, although I believe a strong reason behind this is my superb sky in the Zselic Starry-Sky Park.
