NGC
660 is classified as a "polar ring" galaxy. We believe that the galaxy
was formed by the collision of two galaxies. At magnitude 12, the
bright central area should be visible using averted vision in 8-10 inch
scopes as a very dim patch, if you can get to a dark sky location.
You will need a much larger scope to see any detail.
