400/500mm - 17.5" (11/1/86): very faint but moderately large, thin edge-on NW-SE, very low surface brightness. A group of faint stars is close east. Located 2.3' NE of a mag 10 star and 6.6' N of NGC 7518.

600/800mm - 24" (1/1/16): this superthin galaxy (axial ratio 10:1) appeared a very faint, very thin streak at least 8:1 NW-SE, ~1.4'x10", very small brighter nucleus. The southeast extension was longer than the northwest. Situated directly between a mag 10.8 star 2.3' SW and a mag 12.7 star 1.8' NE.

900/1200mm - 48" (10/22/11): at 488x, this extreme superthin appeared as a fairly bright, large, razor-thin edge-on, extending ~10:1 NW-SE, ~2.5'x0.2'. Contains a bright, very thin, elongated core that bulges very slightly. The extensions fade gradually at the tips. A string of mag 15 and fainter stars oriented WNW-ESE begins near the southern tip. UGC 12426, a much fainter superthin, lies 9.6' NNE, and NGC 7518 is 6.5' due south.
