N_4446N12h 28m 12s13° 55m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00 This galaxy, along with NGC 4447 which is almost on top of it, (perhaps they are interacting?) is the faintest galaxy I saw tonight. They were but a persistent glowing patch of sky background. HNGC lists them as 13.8 and 14 mv. I only located them because of their proximity to NGC 4459, and it's 8 mv star just south east.
N_4448N12h 28m 12s28° 37m 0s C-11LBRP2011 6 6 22:45:19An elongated spiral with a bright nucleus. Nice. B: Sb.

N_4457N12h 29m 0s3° 34m 0s C-8Little Tycho2011 5 10 1:19:32A very faint smudge, in tonight's hazy skies. Best in the 18, and found only with the finder chart.
N_4459N12h 29m 0s13° 59m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00 A bright spiral that blinks with the 8.1 mv K star just south east of it. When you look at the star the galaxy vanishes, when you look away from it, the galaxy appears to be only a bit dimmer than the star. The "blinking" galaxy!

N_4458N12h 29m 0s13° 15m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00Makes a pair with the brighter ngc 4461. HNGC lists this as 11.8 mv, but it looks fainter than that. It also lists it as an elliptical, but it was too faint for me to guess.
N_3c 273N12h 29m 6s2° 3m 0s C-8P2007-05-11 23:00:00Looks like a 12th Magnitude star. Too faint to detect the blue color. This needed the AAVSO finder chart to identify it.
N_4464N12h 29m 24s8° 10m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00 A faint, fuzzy starlike object. Brighter than 4467. Not in Burnham, but HRNGC lists it as a spiral. In the sloan survey photo, it looks like an S0.
N_4468N12h 29m 30s14° 3m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00An extremely faint galaxy, HNGC lists it as a 12.7 mv elliptical.
N_4469N12h 29m 30s8° 45m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00A medium bright streak, in position angle approximately 70°. Burnham lists it as an edge on Sb.
N_4467N12h 29m 30s8° 0m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00 An extremely faint smudge. HRNGC lists it as 14th mv! Surprising I saw it at all, but it's an elliptical, and these look like fuzzy stars, rather than extended nebulae.
N_4470N12h 29m 36s7° 49m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00A faint, but distinct patch. A face on S0? Not in Burnham. NASA extragalactic Database lists it an an Sa(?).

N_4474N12h 29m 54s14° 4m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A small, round, faint galaxy. HRNGC lists it as 11.5 mv, "pretty faint". In the same field as NGC 4459 and NGC 4468.

N_4486N12h 30m 48s12° 24m 0sC-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A bright elliptical with a small envelope. AKA M 87.
N_4488N12h 30m 54s8° 22m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00An extremely faint, 5 arc minute diameter glow. The Sloan photo shows an edge on spiral, with distended outer arms.

N_4516N12h 33m 6s14° 34m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00HNGC lists this as a 12.5 mv spiral. It's too faint for the C-8.
N_4519N12h 33m 30s8° 39m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00A 3 arc minute, dim, round blob. (Burnham: SBc)
N_4526N12h 34m 0s7° 42m 0s C-8B2008-05-28 23:00:00 A bright, large almost face on Sc spiral (?) with a small nucleus, between 2 7 mv stars. position angle approximately 120. (the faint outer arms, easily seen in photos, were washed out by the stars) (Burnham: E7/ S0)
N_4526N12h 34m 0s7° 42m 0sC-8Little Tycho2010 3 20 2:15:27There is a star about 1/6 of a field (12.5mm) south of the galaxy, not shown on my finder chart. WikiSky: It's 13.35mv.
N_4527N12h 34m 6s2° 39m 0s C-11LBRP2010 4 14 23:44:18A streak in the sky, brighter in the middle. (Burnham: N_4527)
N_4535N12h 34m 18s8° 12m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00 A large, dim, globular. The stars were resolved with averted vision. Wrong! It's a face on SBc spiral (Burnham)! The patchy arms looked starlike.
N_4531N12h 34m 18s13° 5m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A very faint smudge. HNGC lists it as "faint", 11.7 mv. In general, spirals without bright middles are hard to see.
N_4536N12h 34m 30s2° 11m 0s C-10Pinnacles2011 5 30 0:15:43Nice, mottled spiral. As per the NGC. B: Sc/SBc.
STF1657D12h 35m 7.76s18° 22m 37s C-8B2007-06-06 22:30:00AKA 23 Coma. A glorious double. Primary yellow, secondary blue green. Reminds me of Albireo.
N_4548N12h 35m 24s14° 30m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A large, face on Sc, with a bright middle. Burnham: an SBb. Wiki Sky lists this as M 91.
N_4546N12h 35m 30s-3° 48' 0" C-11LBRP2011 6 3 23:50:55A bright, tiny galaxy. Seyfert? B: E6/S0. A peculiar galaxy with counter rotating regions!
N_4554N12h 35m 42s11° 11m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A very faint glow. WikiSky shows a pair of 13th mv stars here. Probably an NGC error, and a very easy one to make. I saw but a glow, with averted vision, and no double star. Other internet sources confirm that this is indeed an NGC error.
N_4552N12h 35m 42s12° 33m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A small, bright round elliptical with a bright middle. AKA M 89.
STF1659D12h 35m 43.75s-12° 1' 30" C-8B2008-04-12 21:30:00 A very interesting pair of stars, 8 and 8.5 mv (WDS), (they looked 7.5 and 8 to me). They are between two 6th mv stars, which are themselves about 6 arc minutes apart. The entire group is listed as Struve 1659. It was swept up while looking for M 104, NGC 4594, which was obliterated by Washington's light pollution.
N_4559N12h 36m 0s27° 58m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00A large irregular blob. dim but quite mottled, with no distinct nucleus. Burnham: Sc.
N_4565N12h 36m 18s25° 59m 0s C-8P2007-03-18 10:30:0080x: A faint but distinct streak, with sharp edges. Bright middle, and the dust lane was barely visible with averted vision.
N_4565N12h 36m 18s25° 59m 0sC-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00 This superb edge on gives the illusion of having the edges of its spiral arms appear to be spread out, which photos prove does not happen.
N_4564N12h 36m 24s11° 26m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00 A small, uniformly bright spot. It looks like a faint planetary nebula. Burnham lists it as an E6, and its WikiSky photo confirms this. The nucleus does look round. Next time more power than 36x needs to be applied.
N_4568N12h 36m 36s11° 14m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00 A pair of galaxies, with NGC 4567 an arc minute to the north. At 36x, these looked like a single galaxy. They need to be re-examined with higher power.
N_4569N12h 36m 48s13° 10m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00An Andromeda like spiral, but much smaller! Bright middle. AKA M90.
N_4570N12h 36m 54s7° 15m 0s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00 A streak with a bright middle, position angle approximately 170°. Sb spiral? (Burnham: E8/S0)
N_4579N12h 37m 42s11° 49m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00AKA M 58. A bright, face on Sb/Sa/E0/? Burnham lists it as an Sb.
N_4584N12h 38m 18s13° 7m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00Too faint for my C-8. HNGC lists it as 12.8 mv spiral, but that's spread over a couple of square arc minutes of sky.
STF1664D12h 38m 19.94s-11° 31' 1" C-8Little Tycho2011 5 10 22:12:17A nice starscape of three stars in an almost perfect row, with a forth fainter on just west on the same row. A fifth brigt star is just below this line of stars.
R VirV12h 38m 30.1s6° 59m 17.1s C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00An orange white star of approximately 6.5 Mv.
N_4590N12h 39m 30s-26° 45' 0" C-8P2008-05-28 23:00:00 A globular cluster, 3' in diameter. Approximately 50 stars were seen with averted vision, 5-10 with direct. This suggests that my averted vision is reaching 14.5 mv, direct 13th.
N_4596N12h 39m 54s10° 11m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00 A spiral with a bright middle, half a degree west of 5th magnitude Rho Vir. Burnham lists it as an S0/SBa. NGC 4608 is between Rho and NGC 4596.
N_4605N12h 40m 0s61° 37m 0s C-8Little Tycho2010 4 6 21:21:38The very faintest of smudges against this fairly dark (for this light polluted sky) sky. Without the finder chart, I would have seen nothing.
N_4594N12h 40m 0s-11° 37' 0" C-8B2008-04-15 03:15:00 AKA M 104. A difficult object in tonight's moonwashed skies. I missed it altogether two nights ago. It was a faint, small (7 arc minute) streak slightly brighter towards the middle. It would be superb in dark skies.

N_4606N12h 41m 0s11° 55m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A faint, small, smudge. It looks like an Sb in it's WikiSky photo. There was no sign of the companion galaxy, NGC 4607, an edge on Sc of 13th mv.
N_4608N12h 41m 12s10° 9m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00A spiral between NGC 4596 and Rho Vir. Burnham lists it as an A0/Sba. It's nucleus is fainter than NGC 4596's.

N_4631N12h 42m 6s32° 32m 0s C-11LBRP2010 4 10 22:37:24A large, very elongated streak with what seemed to be sharply delinated edges. The left edge was quite bright. (Edge on Sc. Left edge was the nucleus.)
N_4638N12h 42m 48s11° 26m 0s C-8P2008-05-04 22:30:00 A faint, almost star like, galaxy. There was no sign of the much fainter NGC 4637. Both galaxies appear to be spirals on WikiSky's photographic atlas, although HNGC lists NGC 4638 as an elliptical. Burnham lists it as an E5/S0.

WikiSky: 6811 is a very low contrast clump of stars, probably a real cluster. The"true" cluster is a chance grouping of 9 7...9mv stars. I suspect that it, too might be a cluster.
STF2545D19h 38m 43.36s-10° 9' 23" C-8B2007-08-06 22:00:00An unequal double 7-8.5 Mv. Lackluster, especially in these extremely hazy skies.

STT 391D19h 56m 50.14s44° 16m 16s C-8B2007-06-24 03:00:00A yellow-blue pair. A is supposed to be an N star, but it did not look red enough. Looks a magnitude fainter because of the clouds.
AX CygV19h 57m 13s44° 15m 40.34s C-8B2007-06-21 03:00:00 A yellow white star with very strong red overtones. Sometimes looks quite red, sometimes almost white, depending on the degree of averted vision. It appeared to be 8 Mv, not 9, as stated in Burnham. The companion was not seen.
BU 1475D19h 57m 53.7s-9° 3' 30" C-8Little Tycho2010 10 12 20:16:57A lovely quadruple star, BU 1475 lining up with S 143953 almost exactly. As per the WDS.
Cyg_X1N19h 58m 18s35° 2m 0s C-8B2007-06-24 03:00:00The celebrated X ray source, the first black hole to be recognized as such. A white star that appeared lackluster in these overly hazy skies. It might appear more brilliant in clearer skies.
