Magnitude: 11.0

Angular size: 8.1' X 1.8'

This is an edge-on galaxy near the western edge of the como-virgo cluster. It is less than the 10' size limit but I placed it on the list because of the galaxies NGC 4206 and 4222, as well as a host of other galaxies, are very close. The resultant cluster of galaxies made me feel it qualified to be on the list.
