Description:
Tiny galaxy with a slight elongation on its NS axis. Sometimes I suspect seeing its spiral pattern, but it's a very difficult sight with the current sky conditions and the Half Moon lurking nearby. I can see a star to the SE of its center that might be a possible supernova, but unfortunately by checking images later, I find that it's simply a foreground star.
