Located just 6' due east of the center of M100 and the brighter of two companions in the field with NGC 4323. 18" (4/5/03): very faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~E-W, 0.8'x0.6', very low surface brightness (although catalogued sfc br is 13.1), very weak concentration. A mag 14.5 star lies 1.4' NE. Located 6.0' E of M100. 17.5" (5/23/87): extremely faint, small, round. A mag 14.5 star is 1.4' NE of center. Located 6' due east of M100!
