Description:
In Leo, at ~ 2½° SE of Zosma (Leo Delta). The location of this object was difficult for lack of stars reference in this part of Leo. After several seconds of observation, the galaxy appears finally with averted vision. As it is very slightly luminous, it is impossible for me to see any details.
