400/500mm - 17.5" (6/28/00): this interacting double system (with UGC 11805) appeared very faint, small (probably viewed core only). Closely bracketed by a close pair of mag 13 stars at the SW edge and a mag 12.5 star to the NE. At moments, there is strong impression of the close companion attached to the mag 12.5 star [just 32" between centers]. Very difficult to track down as situated in a rich Milky Way field with a patchy background.
