Quite bright and a second-magnitude star in the same field of view does not interfere with observation. Smallish and circular with some elongation. A compact central condensation. The outlying area is diffuse.

Nice effort, I must get around to observing this galaxy.
NGC 404 is also fondly know as “Mirach’s Ghost”.

I love this galaxy, but unlike you I find that Mirach is an awful distraction. Here’s my skecth of the same!
