NGC 4549

18" (5/12/07): extremely faint and small, round, 10" diameter, required averted vision to glimpse, though transparency was very mediocre.  Located near the midpoint of a mag 14 star 2.3' N and a mag 11 star 2.7' S.  This galaxy is not identified as NGC 4549 in the RNGC or CGCG.  Located 4.3' ENE of the double system NGC 4547.
