Hi Orestis,

I'm a bit of a newb as far as galaxies go my self, but through my 8" Dob to me it appears somewhere between an elongated oval and a long cigar shape, with a brightening bulge in the middle.

Through my 10X50s there is also a globlular cluster that I can see in the same field of view as a fuzzy ball, NGC 288.

It's an awesome feeling looking at galaxies isn't it

Kind regards

Ant
