V = 10.7; Size 3.9x3.2; SB = 13.3; PA = 170d
18" (8/17/04): at 225x appears moderately bright and large, oval 3:2 WNW-ESE,
~1.8'x1.1'. On the east end is a mag 12.5 star. The galaxy suddenly brightens
to a very small, brighter core. The edge of the halo fades and increases in
size with averted vision. Appears slightly brighter along the major axis with a
hint of structure.
17.5" (10/30/99): observed SN 1999el which was discovered 11 days ago (Oct.
20th). Appeared as a mag 14.5-15 star just following the core (22" E and 8" S)
and easily visible at 280x. The galaxy is fairly faint, moderately large.
Sharply concentrated with a small bright core surrounded by a diffuse halo
elongated 3:2 E-W. A mag 12 star is 1.5' following the center and a mag 15 star
is just visible a similar distance WNW.
17.5" (8/13/88): bright with a very bright core surrounded by a fainter large
oval halo 3:2 E-W. A mag 13 star is just off the E edge 1.4' from center and a
mag 15 star is off the NW end.
8" (6/22/81): faint, small, bright core. A mag 13 star is at the E edge.
