very faint, slightly brighter middle, round
Matthias Juchert, 8", fst 6m8:
At 50x together with NGC 71 and NGC 68 visible as a compact object. At 126x it is the brightest galaxy of the group. NGC 71 appears is very close and NGC 68 is a little more distant. NGC 70 is pretty faint but clearly visible and has a bright core. Confusingly it lies between two 13mag stars which stand within the halo.

NGC 2300: clearly brighter than the neighbor NGC 2276 but still pretty faint, bright center with a faint stellar core, elongated about 3:2 E-W
Matthias Juchert, 8", fst 6m6:
Pretty bright, small galaxy already visible at 50x. It looks similar to a not resolved globular cluster and is very concentrated to the very bright center at 126x. Near the fainter NGC 2276.

M 60: Very bright and round, very concentrated towards the middle with a small center and a nucleus. West preceding is the companion NGC 4647
NGC 4647: Faintly visible with direct vision. Elongated, close to M 60 in NE. Nice but not very easy double! Large brightness contrast!
Matthias Juchert, 2,5", fst 6m5:
Easy with direct vision, bright, large, round-oval, very bright center. NGC 4647 is visible with averted vision at the north western border of M 60.
