bei 72x wirkt die Galaxie klein und kompakt, indirekt wirken der Osten und der Norden heller - Elongation Nordost-Südwest genau auf zwei enge Sterne südwestlich, die mit der Galaxie in Reihe stehen - bei 160x wirkt NGC 660 im Süden diffus und in etwas Abstand wird ein schwacher Stern süd-südöstlich sichtbar 		EASY
