NGC 4061

24" (3/22/14): fairly faint or moderately bright, fairly small, round, 25" diameter, brighter core but not as strongly concentrated as NGC 4065 just 1.1' ENE.  These form a striking pair with NGC 4065.  Nearby lies NGC 4072 ~3' SE and NGC 4076 7' ESE.

17.5" (3/28/87): fairly faint, small, almost round, brighter core.  Forms a pair with NGC 4065 1' ENE within the NGC 4065 cluster.
