This galaxy was easier for me to see than most of the other
Pisces galaxies I tracked down this evening. I noted it
as not difficult to pick up, in fact it stood out to me while
star-hopping toward its location. Although I could not
detect any structure, it was not difficult to see with
direct vision. I thought the best way to star-hop to this object was to go northeast for two stars, then turn north- northwest for two stars and then continue to where the galaxy is located. |
