Note: I picked up the central region only as the outer spiral arms have a very low surface brightness.

600/800mm - 24" (2/14/15): at 300x; faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 0.6'x0.3', fairly low nearly even surface brightness. No nucleus but a slight, broad concentration. A mag 13 star is 1.2' NW of center (in direction of the major axis).
