Description:
Elongated to the WSW-ENE direction, this is a surprisingly small galaxy - at least I've expected a much larger object based on my map. Its surface brightness is however way higher than expected. It's core is not visibly brighter than the rest, but its WSW side is a bit brighter and this side of the galaxy is also better defined, the ENE side disappears in the sky background gradually. Is this phenomena perhaps a result of a spiral structure?To the East of the core, outside of its body, a tiny (foreground) star is very apparent.
