This galaxy was difficult to detect as well, in fact I had to switch to the 12mm wide angle eyepiece at 123x to see any evidence of it; my only note is that with averted vision, it clearly appeared non-stellar, so it must have presented a bright core with only slight haziness around the core to distinguish it from the other stars. |
