Description:
Very faint and small galaxy. Some details are revealed by averted vision. With direct vision its simply a diffuse, tiny spot. In the W-E direction I observe a flat body, perhaps this is the central region of the galaxy. On this sits on the NW-SE direction a hat-shaped feature, similar to that of a mushroom. To the S of the fuzzy object a very faint, small, fuzzy spot appears time-by-time, is this perhaps the star-forming region of a spiral arm?
