Description: Pretty bright and interesting galaxy in Camelopardalis. It?s elongated in NNE-SSW direction and shows some structure and details. The northern half is clearly brighter than other galaxy. There seems to be a fainter area in the middle which cuts galaxy into two pieces. The south half is again little bit brighter. This object reminds me distantly of M82. There is a faint star involved in SE-corner.
