Description:
Stumbled across this rather bright galaxy which I had never viewed
before while star hoping. Unexpectedly large with a mottled surface
texture. Gave me the appearance of an IR galaxy. Some brightening of
the core, but very slight and evenly. Atlas shows many faint galaxies
in FOV (around mag 15+) but out of reach for the 8".
