Hi Uwe,

I have only one observation from 16 years ago with my 20 inch f/5 Obsession:

"A round, diffuse glow of a galaxy. The core area is only slightly the brightest part of the galaxy, no stellar core. No distinct edges for that matter! Faint double star off to one side, 261x."

Thanks, I love barred spirals so this is now on my list to re-observe!
