Class: SAb

Data: mag 9.6 size 6.1 x 2.8
Position: RA 12:32 DEC 14:25
Description:
In Coma Berenices, at ~2½° SE of M100. This galaxy appears less brilliant than M100 and I have to wait a few seconds before observing it well with averted vision. In spite of his low brightness, I see a lengthening NW-SE. M88 is of small size and its surface is lower than NGC 4725. No other visible details.
