Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 4323 is the galaxy northeast of M 100 (= NGC 4321) that has been called
"NGC 4322 = NGC 4323" in many catalogues and lists.  See NGC 4322 for the 
story on this.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 4323

18" (5/15/10): this faint galaxy is located just 5.2' NNE of the center of the face-on spiral M100.  At 220x it appeared very faint, fairly small, ~0.5'x0.4' (difficult to determine the orientation), very low surface brightness with no central brightening.  This galaxy is the fainter of two companions of M100 with NGC 4328 6' E of center.
