600/800mm - 24" (9/29/16): at 375x; extremely faint, fairly small, very elongated 5:2 or 3:1 SW-NE, 30"x12", very low surface brightness, fairly difficult. Located 12' NE of UGC 12578 (unlikely NGC 7667), another highly disturbed (or merger) galaxy. UGC 12589 lies far in the background, though, at 3 to 4 times the distance of UGC 12578.

900/1200mm - 48" (10/27/16): at 488x; fairly faint, moderately large, very elongated 3:1 ~SW-NE, ~1.0'x0.3', small brighter central region. This peculiar galaxy has an unusual shape, hooking counterclockwise on the southwest side and extending a short distance [~0.3'] due west. The galaxy tapers on the northeast end. Forms an interacting (disrupted) pair with LEDA 214957 1.2' NE. A mag 14.5 star is 1.6' NE. The observation was probably through thin clouds.
