400/500mm - 18" (7/11/10): this unusual galaxy is attached to a mag 9.5 star, which severely hampers the view! Appears as a very faint, fairly small glow extended 3:2 NW-SE, ~30"x20", with the NW end emerging from the star. On the DSS this galaxy is attached at the NW end with an interacting companion (not seen) that looks like a curving tidal plume.
