This galaxy was easy to locate, just west of a little double star, and after my eyes got dark-adapted, seeing the faint smudge of this guy was not too difficult; I found it to be somewhat larger than the other tiny galaxies that I saw on April 27, and situated just west of a field star. Star-hopping from the little double star, heading west, the field star came first and then the galaxy right next to it. This would probably make a nice target from a dark sky location, it might yield some detail. |
