Description:
220X-NGC4845 has a bright halo and weak core with some bulge at the center.
The halo's faint ends hook up/down just a little. The East end is turned down and the West is turned up. This detail is very subtile and requires all of the observing tricks to see it. There should be a thin line of obscuring dark lane, but I can't see it.
