NGC 4647 is the companion galaxy to M60, which, interestingly enough, is not labeled on my version of Uranometria 2000.0. The galaxy is plotted of course, but only given its NGC number. I was able to find this galaxy pretty easily, no averted vision required, as I swept up M60 the companion NGC 4647 was clearly immediately visible. It was noticeably smaller than M60 but still with good brightness and surface brightness as well. |
