At 22x pretty faint, roundish, equally bright. At the southwestern edge there is a fainter field star. At 49x and 69x indirectly obvious, slightly condensed, roundish, partly slightly oval. At 100x well condensed. The galaxy appears also here partly oval.

12.5" f/4.5, 160x, SQM-L 21.3
bei 72x bildet die Galaxie mit drei südlich stehenden Sternen eine ganz schmale Raute - eine sehr lange feine Spindel mit länglichem Zentrum - die Spitzen werden immer schwächer und laufen diffus aus - bei 72x zeigt sich die Spindel gut definiert und die Westseite wirkt etwas definierter - es ist nicht abschätzbar, wie weit den Enden gehen, so diffus laufen sie aus - Ausdehnung schätzungsweise 6:1 - bei 160x bester Anblick, das Zentrum fächert innen leicht auf (bestimmt nur ein Gefühl) 		EASY
