Description:
Caldwell 21. Box Galaxy. Remarkably looks very much like the photographs given
in O'Meara's book and on SEDS. It is box shaped with a couple of nice knots
one good one right of center. Textured and mottled, like a faint
unresolved globular. Stretched north/south, the northwest corver is a little rounder
and enlarged, like seen in photos. Surprisingly photograph like is all I can
say.
