01 34 17.5 -29 24 58
V = 10.1;  Size 5.5x4.2;  SB = 13.3;  PA = 120d

17.5" (12/4/93): fairly bright, very elongated 3:1 WNW-ESE, 4.0'x1.3', prominent 
elongated core, almost stellar nucleus with direct vision, broader halo with 
averted.  SE of the core there appears to be a very faint extension or large 
knot (photo shows this to be the bright spiral arm extending from the central 
bar).  Located 2.4' SW of mag 9 SAO 167149.

8" (11/28/81): faint, moderately large, diffuse, small bright core.  A mag 9 
star is 2.5' NE.
