Blue Mountain Vista Observatory New RInggold PA
NGC 4216
A trio of edge-ons is shown here, with mag 11 NGC 4216 in the middle, NGC 4222 to the
upper left, and NGC 4206 to the lower right. The cool little colored face-on in the upper
right is mag 14 IC 771. This is a bountiful harvest from the constellation Virgo, and NGC
4216 is estimated to be 40 Mly away from where I am here in New Ringgold.
