No dust lanes or other detail seen. The whole galaxy appears to be mottled. The broad nucleus seems to be broken into fragments of bright patches. A mag 14 star is off the NW end. This is a very pleasing galaxy.
Optical images reveal dusty filements emanating radially from the nucleur region.
Unusual appearance as a mag 11 star is superimposed on the E side of the center. Located 3.3' SE of mag 9.8 SAO 195756. Star 8th mag in cusp taken. Copyright 1998 Auke Slotegraaf. All rights reserved.
