Description:
Large, a little bit oval shaped bright galaxy. It's very gently elongated SW-NE. The core is visibly brighter than the rest, and looks as if there's a mustache-shaped feature on its major axis. This detail is not readily visible, takes a bit of patience and time to appear. The humidity of the air is getting extremely high, making the circumstances far from ideal.
