600/800mm - 24" (2/5/13): at 375x this superthin galaxy appeared very faint, extremely thin edge-on NW-SE, ~50"x8", very low even surface brightness. Extends between two mag 10.5 stars, reaching the NW star but stopping just south of the SE star. The stars detract a bit from viewing this phantom streak. UGC 1890 (probably NGC 917) lies 27' NE.
