Description:
This is a beautiful barred spiral galaxy. The central bar is fairly bright
with a brighter central condensation. The arm to the west appeared as a non-
descript faint haze but to the south east was a beautiful, graceful, spiral
arm that curved back around a faint star that lied at the center of an almost
perfect semi-circle formed by the arm. A drawing can be seen at
