NGC 4112

18" (5/15/10): at 175x, this southern galaxy appeared fairly faint (view diminished by low elevation), fairly small, elongated 3:2 N-S, ~45"x30", broad concentration.  Located just north of a group of 3 stars with the closer two (1' S and 1.5' S) collinear with the major axis of the galaxy and mag 9.25 HD 105253 2' SSW.  ESO 321-7, located just 2.5' ESE, was not seen.
