Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
The galaxy is a late-type spiral seen nearly edgewise. A bar-like structure, brighter at either end, is well seen in the galaxy, but there is no obvious nucleus. The position I've selected corresponds to the center of this bar. This is an adequate representation for the position of the galaxy, but may not correspond to the nucleus.
