Data: mag 9.4 size 10 x 8

Description:
In Coma Berenices, halfway between Bêta Com and 23 Com. Object easy to find in this constellation. It took me several seconds of attentive observation for finally observing this galaxy, which seems to present a lengthening NE-SW. Although lower than M100 in size, the dimensions of NGC 4725 are quite visible with 9x. No other visible details.
