Notes: This galaxy has an extremely bright, intense core, a bright inner halo with a well‑defined edge. Beyond the inner halo is a quite faint outer halo. The outer halo is asymmetrical, rounded on the W side and narrower and a little pointed to the E. On the N side of the core, in the outer halo there seem to be light and dark striations. On the S side there is a dark lane. |
