Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 4465
48" (5/15/12): At 488x appeared fairly faint, small, slightly elongated WNW-ESE, 20"x15", weak concentration. A mag 16.8 star is just off the NE side [12" from center]. This is one of several faint galaxies outside the halo of M49 (situated 5.9' WNW of center) with brighter NGC 4467 2.6' SE. According to the redshift, though, this galaxy lies in the background of the Virgo cluster at a distance of ~330 million light years.
