Description:
Large but faint galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus. It is described as a spiral galaxy in the catalogues, however this is not detectable visually: it looks like an elliptic galaxy elongated in the NW-SE direction, with a totally homogeneous surface and a very tiny core that only slightly outshines the galaxy surface. I estimate its brightness to 13 magnitudes, with a size of about 1'x2.5'.
