Description:
Bright edge-on galaxy with a dark lane easily visible at 78x. The core is gradually 
brighter but not star-like as e.g. in 4565.  At 131x some mottled structure seemed 
to be visible in the dark lane near the galaxies center. Core still indistinct. As 
observing conditions worsened gradually (fog), I did not attempt higher 
magnifications to search for more details.
