From the 2009 paper "Do Bars Drive Spiral Density Waves?" by Buta et al: "We find two galaxies, NGC 7513 and UGC 10862, where there is a only a weak spiral in the presence of a very strong bar."

600/800mm - 24" (7/21/17): at 200x and 375x; initially seen as a very faint, elongated SW-NE glow, ~0.6'x0.2'. A mag 10.5 star is off the NE edge (collinear with the galaxy). This elongated oval is actually the central bar in a face-on spiral with an extremely low surface brightness halo. It was best seen at 200x as a 1' roundish haze surrounding the bar. Located 29' ESE of mag 6.1 HD 157978.
