About this image

This lenticular galaxy (NGC4111) was discovered by William Herschel in January 1788.

Apparent mag. 10.7. Distance c.50million ly. Size c.55,000ly.

Also seen are:

NGC4117 (to the right), also a lenticular galaxy. It was discovered by William Herschel in February 1788. Apparent mag. 13.0.

NGC4118 (a little above and to the right of 4117), also a lenticular galaxy, discovered by R J Mitchell in April 1857. Apparent mag. 14.6.

NGC4109 (above and to the left of 4111), a spiral galaxy discovered by Bindon Stoney in April 1851. Apparent mag. 14.1.

I have not been able to identify what looks like an edge on galaxy to the lower left of 4111, and a number of other unidentified galaxies can also be seen.
