Description:
120X-NGC2841 shows an oval halo and oval core. The halo is a long oval with
poorly defined edges. It gradually brightens toward the center where a suddenly
bright oval core reminds me of a 'fried egg' At the center of the core is a
slightly elongated non-stellar nucleus. The halo shows some mottling, but no
dust lane while the core is smooth
