Description:
A large and uniformly faint round halo of about 4’ diameter can be seen at 244x 
magnification. The center of the galaxy appears slightly brighter. The tiny, 
almost stellar nucleus resembles a 13mag star and makes the galaxy look more 
like a planetary nebula. I could not see the spiral structure under todays un-
favourable conditions.
