Description:
Very faint galaxy, I've been searching for a long time until finally I was able to clearly identify it. Once found, it's no longer hard to track, despite it's really really faint. A bit elliptic with an elongation of NE-SW. Sometimes, especially with averted vision it looks rather like an irregular galaxy. Difficult object!
