400/500mm - 17.5" (6/24/95): extremely faint, fairly large, edge-on N-S. This galaxy has a low surface brightness with no central brightening and is more difficult than the magnitude suggests. A mag 13 star is attached at the north end which detracts from viewing. A mag 12 star lies 2.4' W and a mag 11 star 2.7' E.

600/800mm - 24" (8/29/19): at 375x; fairly faint, fairly large, very elongated 6:1 N-S, ~1.8'x0.3'. Appears as a narrow, soft streak generally visible to the south of a superimposed mag 12 star. A 15th mag star is just west of the south flank. It was difficult to trace the galaxy extent to the north of the bright star - only some very faint haze seen.
