Description:
Face on galaxy, slightly oval, almost round - very hard to detect.
A not quite stellar core. Averted vision and rocking the scope
helped to me to detect and see this galaxy. Looking up the size of
the galaxy this morning I discovered that there was another galaxy
in the same field and thinking back I believe I detect it as
well. This needs to be revisited under better seeing conditions.
--
I was surprised that I could detect this galaxy - seeing was
degrading and there was some high haze in the air causing a lot
of scatter from the moon.
