NGC 2466
24" (4/4/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 260x appears moderately bright, fairly small, irregularly round, 0.9'x0.8'. Broad, weak concentration to a very small, brighter core. The outer halo appears to change orientation or extent using averted vision (this is a face-on spiral). Located 1.2¡ NNE of mag 3.9 Zeta Volantis.
