Category: External galaxy.
Class: SABc
Constellation: Eri
Data: mag 9.9 size 7.1x6.3
Position: RA 03:10 DEC -20:35
Description:
In Eridani, at 2½° NW of tau4 Eri. Galaxy of low size and
stellar in apparence. At the beginning, I was not sure of my
observation because of a star very close magnitude 9,2 (HD
19744). However, the description of the galaxy on my verbatim
indicates that, by alternating direct/averted vision, the objet
appears and disappears successively, which is sufficient to
generally confirm the observation.
