Description:
This galaxy is pretty bright, large, gradually brighter in the middle and
round at 150X. Averted vision makes it double in size. There are 3 stars
involved in the galaxy, one is pretty faint, near the core to the NE. Two
are pretty bright, approx. 10th mag, to the east of the core. After
wondering if any of these stars are supernovae, I check Vickers images
and the stars are still there. Oh well.
