Observing tips
This is rated as a very hard target at magnitude 10.9. It is associated with autumn observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around September. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 50.3 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
Because it is faint, use a larger aperture where possible, avoid bright Moon conditions, and use averted vision.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is Sy2. SIMBAD records the morphology as SB. A published radial velocity value is 2122.3 km/s. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 786 bibliographic references.
At roughly 5.6 arcminutes across, it benefits from a narrower field and adequate image scale. Use the listed 5.58 by 2.57 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
