NGC 4043 Galaxy *

This little chap isn't that hard to see and is NW from a longish straggling line of mag 10th & 11th mag *s. Very small, only 30-odd arc-secs diameter and at first looks like a 15th mag * surrounded but a little fuzz. Grows mod to centre where there is a very faint stellaring or *ar nucleus.

MCG +1-31-14 and MCG +1-31-18 are SE by 10 and 20arc-mins respectively and are little more than 15" diameter scraps of mist, a little brighter in the centre.

NGC 4044 Galaxy *
RA: 12h 02m 29.5s Dec: -00° 12' 44"
Mag: 14.0 (P) S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.1'x1.1'
Class: E+: P.A.: --- Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

Looks quite similar to -43 (previous observation). It is a very small eg about 20" diameter and at a lower power would be easy to mistake for a very faint *. Just a small spot of mist growing mod to centre where there is a 15.5 or 16th mag stellaring or stellar nucleus. Thinly populated field, no stars immediately associated.

NGC 4058 Galaxy *
RA: 12h 03m 49.1s Dec: +03° 32' 54"
Mag: 14.1 (P) S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.2'x0.6' Class: SAB(r)0+:
P.A.: 165 Inclination: 5 R.V.: +5800 Source: RC3 *

Is another very small, almost stellar and pretty faint eg. Again in a fairly blank field, there are no *s of note nearby. Seems at best 15" diameter growing to a faint almost *ar sub-stellar nucleus.

NGC 4075 Galaxy *
RA: 12h 04m 37.8s Dec: +02° 04' 22"

P.A.: 128 Inclination: --- R.V.: +6530 Source: RC3 *

Another very tiny eg found to the NE of a very long rectangle of mag 10th - 12th *s in about PA 75. Almost *ar, 10-15" diameter and at first looks like a faint star with a bit of fog around it. Round and grows mod and evenly to centre where there is a whiff of a sub-stellar nucleus.

-87, -82 & -83 are in a small group while -87is one med-power field away to the NNW. -78 is in a pretty lonely field and is a pretty small and faint eg. Almost stellar, only 15" diameter, round and grows to a faint stellaring in he centre. There is a faint star just outside the halo to the W 7' E is -83 and -82 is NE by 9'. Both a very tiny <10" diameter spots of weak LSB mist hardly to be seen.

-67 is a small mod faint eg, round and about 40" diameter with a broad moderate azonal brightening . A couple of 13th mag *s to the E nearly point at it.

NGC 4176 Galaxy *
RA: 12h 12m 36.8s Dec: -09° 09' 37"
Mag: 15.8 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.7'x0.5' Class: Sb
P.A.: 55 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

This is a very, very small and faint eg with nothing in its immediate vicinity. A bunch of faint *s to the W 13 & 14 are about 4-5' away. Probably only 15" diameter rising evenly and moderately to the centre where there seems occasionally to be a threshold mag stellaring.



x186 27' TF

NGC 4191 Galaxy *
RA: 12h 13m 50.4s Dec: +07° 12' 04"
Mag: 13.8 (P)S.B.: ---B-V: ---Size: 1.1'x0.7'Class: S0
P.A.: 5Inclination: 2R.V.: +2634 Source: RC3 *

NGC 4191 is a very small round eg but not too hard to see. Forms a RA Tri with 2 *s to the NE and NW mags 12 & 11, 4 & 2' distant respectively. Small spot 30 - 40" diameter, round, grows mod and evenly to centre with a possible small slightly brighter core-zone but no real nucleus.



x185 27' TF

NGC 4201 Galaxy *
RA: 12h 14m 41.7s Dec: -11° 34' 59"
Mag: 14.4 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 0.9'x0.8' Class: S0
P.A.: 80 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC *

In a field with just a few scattered *s this is a very tiny, almost *ar eg perhaps 15" diameter. Reasonable SB. Forms a small RA tri with a couple of 15th mag *s to the SE and S <1' away. Round and grows mod and evenly to the centre and seems at times to have a stellaring in the centre.



x185 27' TF

NGC 4240 (NGC 4243) Galaxy *
RA: 12h 17m 24.3s Dec: -09° 57' 04"
Mag: 13.7 S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.2'x1.1' Class: E+:
P.A.: 119 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3

This small eg is a very compact but has reasonable SB hitched up to a 13th mag * just on the edge of the halo to the SW. Small, 1' diameter round, grows slowly at first but in the inner regions more strongly to compact core zone that does not seem to contain a real pip.
