This galaxy's location is not difficult to find, however there are no bright stars in the immediate vicinity to help guide you to the exact right spot; I had to pan around for awhile before I was finally able to see the very faint almost ghost-like image of the galaxy.  Once I was able to see the gray smudge, I found it to be fairly large, with extremely low surface brightness at 123x.  I could make out stars on either side of the galaxy, one near and one far, and I also was barely able to make out the fact that the galaxy had a very specific orientation.
