Description:
Brighter than its nearby companion, the NGC 3003 galaxy, but it is very tiny. It has an almost perfectly circular shape, except that especially with averted vision its Western side seem to grow, making the galaxy look like a raindrop. Beside this feature it shows no details, although the FoV itself is interesting with the foreground star to the SE very close to the galaxy.
