At 135x (15mm Panoptic, 30.1' true field), this galaxy appeared very faint.
Elongated NW/SE, it appeared about 1.5' long and perhaps half as wide. It
has an extended, 0.5' core which fades rapidly into the surrounding haze.
A near-stellar nucleus was detectable about 1/4 of the time. NGC7457 is on
the Herschel II list.
