400/500mm - 17.5" (4/9/99): extremely faint, very small, 15" diameter, slightly elongated?. This galaxy is the largest in the core of AGC 1213 (z = .047 or ~700 million l.y.) and it has the brightest V mag but was one of the faintest of the six viewed! Based on the DSS image, I only observed the small core (spiral arms have a low surface brightness). A mag 14.5 star is just 1.2' S of center. There are two 10th magnitude stars in the field and UGC 6202 is located 3' NW of the preceding mag 10 star. It's also midway between MCG +05-27-035 4.7' NW and MCG +05-27-040/41 4.7' SSE.
