Description:
For the first view it looks like a simple oval galaxy, however with an in-depth observation I start to see very confusing details: to the East of its nucleus a little tail seems to break out, both side of the core displays dense fuzzy knots, and last but not least, I suspect a very faint spot to the North, just outside the body of the galaxy.
Checking the astrophotos of this galaxy later leaves me shocked: the irregular object has a really chaotic inside, no wonder I've seen so many details!
