Description:
I found a quite good rural observing site half an hour to drive and
had some good nights to hunt a few galaxies with this small but very
handy scope. Most of them were very faint hazes. However, I had some
nice views.

NGC 4490 best seen as a small and faint spot with averted vision. No
elongation noticed. Easy found near Beta CVn. A triple of mag 11 stars
to the north can easily be supposed as another dimer galaxy at this
low magnification.
