About this image

Small but reasonably bright. Clearly elongated. Surface brightness even over the visible surface under MP. No central brightening. Under HP, the galaxy is remarkable. There appears to be a dark lane bisecting the nucleus at 90 degrees to the elongation. There is a bright blob at the southern tip of the galaxy, and the northern half has a brighter centre.
