400/500mm - 18" (8/8/10): faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, ~30"x20". A mag 12-13 star is superimposed and significantly impairs viewing the galaxy, which appears similar to a faint reflection nebula surrounding a star. On closer inspection the star is superposed on the NE side and the galaxy mostly extends to the SW of the star. Located 1.7' S of a mag 11.8 star and 2' S of a mag 12 star. Furthest south of 8 members of the WBL 670 group viewed.

18" (7/13/10): faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SW-NE. Very strange appearance as a 13th magnitude star is superimposed on the galaxy near the center and nearly overwhelms the galaxy. The star does not show up clearly on the DSS, but is evident on the SDSS. A mag 11.8 star lies 1.7' NW. Member of WBL 670, a group of faint galaxies including UGC 11697 and 11700, located roughly 20' S of mag 7.0 HD 201892.
