UGC 814 lies 5.5' NE and is moderately bright, fairly small, round, 35" diameter, broad concentration with a brighter core. An isosceles triangle of mag 14-15 is close NE.

900/1200mm - 48" (10/23/11): this collisional ring galaxy appeared fairly faint with a weakly concentrated "bar" elongated 3:1 or 7:2 WSW-ENE, ~40"x12". The well-defined bar is surrounded by a very low surface brightness halo, but a brighter rim was not seen. A companion 2MASXJ03395491-0207241, which may lie in the background, was just visible 45" SE. It appeared extremely faint (B = 17.9) and small, round, 8" diameter.
