Description:
Small, round spiral galaxy that is slightly elongated to the N-S. Its central region is moderately brighter than its disk. I estimate its dimensions to 1.5x2' with the center shining at about 13.5m and the surface at about 14m. I find the official 11m brightness catalogue data very misleading.
