Description:
120X- NGC4169 appears as a tiny diffuse spot. No detail.
220X- NGC4169 appears as an faint diffuse oval with direct visiion. With
averted vision there seems to be a slightly brighter center. Cannot define a
core.
With direct vision NGC4174 and NGC4175 form a triangle with NGC4169.
NGC4174 appears almost star like. NGC4175 appears as a dim streak, a very
little brighter at the center. NGC7170 is only suspect. There seems to be
somthing there with averted vision, but I cant see it every try.
A neet grouping.
