Observing tips
StarWatchr rates this as a moderate target at magnitude 7.2. It is associated with spring observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around March. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 0 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
A small telescope under reasonably dark skies is a good starting point; use the live altitude chart to choose its highest point.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is GlC. A published radial velocity value is 75.3 km/s. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 331 bibliographic references.
Its roughly 24 arcminute span suits a medium field of view. Use the listed 24 by 24 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
