This galaxy was easy to locate, just south 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 pretty small, but noticeable; I could not detect any structure or orientation to the smudge, but based on what I saw I think I could see some detail in this galaxy if I was at a dark sky location. |
