Faint; edge-on spiral?
Also observed Feb 20, 2204, at a similar location: Just west of NGC 1596 [a galaxy observed just before this observation] is a cluster of faint stars. Just on the other side of this group is a faint non-stellar glow that with low power still didn't look star-like. A case of just seeing.
