I'd like to see it visually. It is really quite bright. Obviously you need a library of images of galaxies to detect these as to me it looked
like a foreground Milky Way star and I would not have suspected it unless it were a galaxy I was familiar with. So those years of hard work Greg Bock has put in imaging galaxies to form a reference library for comparison really paying off now.
Greg.
