Description:
This very thin edge-on extends beyond the field of view of the 5mm eyepiece at 
342x (FOV 12’)! The galaxy is remarkably bright for its size. The bright oval core 
seems to be offset a little to the E. Two 14mag stars are visible attached to the 
SW part of the galaxy. No further details such as knots or dark lanes are visible. 
Very spectacular, though.
