NGC 4567

17.5" (4/25/87): northern member of a double system with NGC 4568.  Moderately bright, fairly small, elongated 3:2 ~E-W.  Slightly smaller than NGC 4568 attached at the east end but NGC 4567 has a slightly higher surface brightness. 

13" (4/16/83): fairly faint, elongated E-W.  NGC 4568 is attached at the NE end.

8": faint, moderately large, appears as a double nebula at moderately large to high power.
