900/1200mm - 48" (3/1/19): at 488x; very faint, very low surface brightness edge-on 4:1 or 5:1 E-W, requires averted vision. Little or no concentration. Located 7' NE of showpiece barred ring spiral NGC 2523 and 2.5' SSE of mag 8.2 SAO 6469, which interfered with viewing if in the field.

48" (4/21/17): at 488x; extremely to very faint, thin ghostly streak 0.4'x0.1'. This is the brighter central bar and the extremely low surface brightness arms or halo was not seen. Situated 7' NE of NGC 2523 and 2.5' S of mag 8.2 SAO 6469. I needed to keep the bright star out of the field to glimpse this galaxy.
