Description:
WNW-ESE elongated, almond shaped galaxy. Visible directly at an instant. Small, no stellar core visible. Its Northern half appears slightly brighter. I've observed this galaxy as a mistake, because I've already bagged it almost exactly one year ago: here. Seems that my logs are not really accurate and some of my observations may be missing from the "already observed" list of mine. :)
