Description:
This galaxy has an elongation of SW-NE direction, it's quite faint yet immediately visible in the FoV. Looks somewhat asymmetrical with its mass more pronounced towards its NE side. Its core isn't stellar but it looks like a large loaf of bread and it is moderately brighter than the surface of the galaxy.
