Description

I used to observe this galaxy visually. Despite having neither a nickname nor a Messier number, it's pretty bright and easy to find. So, I finally imaged it in February this year. It's clearly a barred-spiral though the bar is not as distinct as in other such galaxies, looking at first like a brightening of the disk.
