Modern observations
Steve Coe
Steve Coe, observing with a 13" f/5.6, notes: "Pretty faint, pretty small, round and brighter in the middle at 100X. Averted vision helps on this galaxy."
Walter Scott Houston
Houston notes that this small companion to NGC 1300 may be seen in a 10-inch. Measuring 1' in diameter it is of 13th magnitude. Houston has seen it in an 8-inch scope.
