This is a distant and very compact Seyfert galaxy (v = 18500). The core is stellar on the POSS with low surface brightness "wings". The SDSS reveals a very low surface brightness disc with some spiral structure.

400/500mm - 17.5" (7/20/96): appears as a mag 14.5 "star" at the east end of a shallow arc with three other equally spaced mag 14 stars (closest is 1.4' SW). Image still stellar at 280x.
