NGC 4622
24" (4/12/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 260x this member of the Centaurus cluster (AGC 3526) appeared bright, fairly large, round, sharply concentrated with a very bright core, halo extends to 1.5'. NGC 4616 lies 7' NW and NGC 4603D is a similar distance SW (both viewed).
17.5" (4/7/89): very faint, small, round, low fairly even surface brightness. Located within the Centaurus cluster (AGC 3526) with NGC 4622A/B 14' ENE. Forms a trio with NGC 4616 7.3' NNW and NGC 4603D 7.3' SW (not seen on this observation).
