This difficult galaxy is located just 1.3' NW of NGC 2813 in the NGC 2804/2809 group. 18" (2/9/08): very faint, small, very elongated 3:1 NNW-SSE, 0.5'x0.15'. Located 2' NNE of mag 9 SAO 80743 and 1.3' NW of brighter NGC 2813 in a galaxy group. 18" (3/11/07): extremely faint, very small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 0.4x0.2. Forms a close pair with brighter NGC 2813 and situated just 1.3' NW. A mag 9 star lies 2' SSW and greatly detracts from viewing. 17.5" (3/12/94): not seen.
