Summary[edit]

Description
English: NGC 4699 is a very tightly wound spiral galaxy with the hint of a bar-like structure in its nucleus. At a distance of 60 million light years away, it resides at the outskirts of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. Though small, this galaxy is quite bright and makes a good target for amateur CCD imagers. In the past, this galaxy has had a number of bright supernovae explosions and so it makes a good galaxy to keep on eye on for future activity. NGC 4699 is similar in structure to galaxies such as NGC 2775, NGC 2841 and NGC 488. This image was taken as part of Advanced Observing Program (AOP) program at Kitt Peak Visitor Center during 2014.
