  This galaxy in Lepus was surprisingly difficult to find given that it's located close to one of the major stars in the Lepus pattern.  Once located, I saw it as rather small, with a degree of concentration but no clearly discernible core.  I thought it stood out as clearly non-stellar, but the fuzzy halo did not take up a large area, so the surface brightness was high enough that I did not need averted vision to see it.
