Description:
Faint galaxy that looks pretty small, it only gets brighter near its tiny core, but that core is very bright compared to the rest of the body of the galaxy. The 11.1m luminosity that is stated in catalogues I find exaggerated. Its core resembles a blurred star, and according to my estimation, has a brightness of about 13.6m, while the average surface brightness of the galaxy I estimate at 14.1 magnitudes. Its shape is slightly elongated ellipse in the SW-NE directions, with a visible size of 2' x 2'10".
