This galaxy was extremely difficult to see, slightly easier than NGC 4136, but more difficult than NGC 4169. I could only hold it with averted vision using 95x with a 4-element plössl. No detail or shape was discernible to me. Click on the inset box on the image to see an expanded view of some of the stars I had to use in the eyepiece to pinpoint the galaxy. |
