I'm doubtful if I've got the right thing, but I'm quite confident that I have. It was astonishingly bright (!!!) roundish object (like a globular). Comparison with the neighbouring star showed vividly that the object was not a point object, which was confirmed clearly at 170x magnification. This is definitely much brighter than what I had expected of an ordinary galaxy. Central brightness and surrounding haze was evident at 170x magnification on a 8" f/8 scope.
