Description: Four galaxies in one field. The brightest is NGC
4881 (13.6m(v), 1'x1', E+, Br4): Faintly visible vithout averted
vision. Diameter 1', round, somewhat concentrated towards a much
brighter almost stellar core. 

NGC 4860 (13.5m(v), 1.4'x1,2', E2:, Br4): Near the SE edge of
field. Size 40''x40''. First stellar, but closer inspection
revealed a some faint fuzz around the 'star'. Round.  

NGC 4856 (13.6m(v), 0.9'x0.5', E6, Br5): Also first thought to
be a star. Very small (10-15''), fuzzy, round.

NGC 4895 (13.2m(v), 1.8'x0.6', SAOp sp, Br5): The only clearly
oblong galaxy in this field. About 30''x10'' with a stellar
core.
