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.
