I had a look at this galaxy tonight with my 20" at 256x. I couldn't magnify more because of the poor seeing. I was surprised at the size of this galaxy. It's actually pretty large for an object with "only" an IC designation. I guess that's because of the low surface brightness. At first glance it looked just like a faint glow. But when I inspected the galaxy more closely I saw the view alternate between seeing the slightly elongated core and the very faint disk. I wasn't able to see that the disk actually is a ring though. I'll need to try again when the seeing is better! Very intriguing object, Jimi!
