13.1" (2/18/04 - Costa Rica): fairly bright, large, oval 3:2 WNW-ESE, broad 
concentration with a large halo.  The overall dimensions are ~3.5'x2.2'.  I had 
a strong impression of extensions or the beginnings of two spiral arms (sketch 
made and verified); one arm begins at the west end and starts to curve towards 
the east on the south side while the other is symmetrically placed on the 
following end and hooks west on the north side.  A mag 11-12 star lies 7' NE of 
center beyond one of the extensions.  This barred spiral is one of the brightest 
members of the N1433 group, a part of the Dorado Cloud complex, and includes 
N1433, 1512, 1448, 1493 and 1411.
