NGC 4065

24" (3/22/14): moderately bright, fairly small, round, 30" diameter, well concentrated with a small bright core.  Forms a close pair with NGC 4061 just 1' W.  NGC 4072 lies 2.4' SE and NGC 4076 is 6.5' ESE.  NGC 4066 and 4070, two similar ellipticals, lie 6.8' N and 10.5' N.

17.5" (3/28/87): fairly faint, small, slightly elongated, brighter core.  Brightest in the NGC 4065 cluster (a large group of NGC galaxies) with NGC 4061 1.1' WSW.
