400/500mm - 17.5" (7/28/00): faint, fairly small, very elongated 7:2 N-S, 1.0'x0.3'. The galaxy appears to have an even surface brightness but several stars are near or superimposed give a very unusual appearance! A mag 13.5 star is just off the south edge [43" from center] and two additional faint stars are superimposed or at the edge. This galaxy is located just 35' SW of Vega!

600/800mm - 24" (10/13/12): at 325x appeared faint, very elongated 3:1 N-S, 0.7'x0.2', contains a very small bright core ~12" diameter with much fainter extensions. Located in a rich star field 35' SW of Vega with three stars on the south side (two superimposed). The faintest is a mag 15.5 star 25" S of the core, near the tip of the southern extension. UGC 11278 lies 4.3' WNW (not observed in earlier observation with my 17.5").
