400/500mm - 18" (6/30/11): at 225x appeared very faint, moderately large, elongated SW-NE, ~45"x20". Occasionally, fainter extensions were glimpsed, extending the major axis to roughly 1.2'x0.3'. The first dimensions refer to the brighter core region of this superthin edge-on and with averted only a portion of the outer extensions were visible as they quickly dim to a very low surface brightness on the DSS. To pinpoint the position, two mag 12/13 stars oriented E-W (separation 3') lie ~4' N. I also viewed this galaxy in a 24" f/3.3 at 178x and the extensions out to 1.2' were easy to view.
