Notably elongated in west-east direction, a little bit brighter from the east side. I could not resolve a brighter core, the galaxy was almost even brightness all the way. From the west I found a star, that was almost connected to this galaxy. From a second I thought, what if... but a quick check from the Internet brought me back to earth, it was just a a star....
