600/800mm - 24" (2/8/18): at 282x; faint, fairly small, roundish, very low surface brightness, irregular appearance to the halo, perhaps 50"-60" diameter.

Occasionally an extremely faint, very small spot, ~10" diameter, was fleetingly glimpsed at the same spot on the south edge of the galaxy [40" from center]. Arp placed this system in his class for spirals with high surface brightness companions on their arm and the companion is identified as Arp 74B in NED.

24" (12/21/16): at 282x; faint, moderately large, roundish but sometimes a slightly brighter elongated outline is seen, 0.8' to 1.0' diameter, very low but slightly irregular surface brightness (face-on barred spiral), slightly brighter nucleus. Forms a close pair with Arp 74B at the south edge, but the companion was not seen with confidence. Located 1.2? SE of Gamma And (Almach).
