Description: Full darkness has gone till next autumn, but NGC 4490 was still a superb galaxy with a 7 mm Nagler. Spiral arms are very open, the northern arm is much longer than southern one. SN2008ax shone as a 14 mag star alongside the southern arm. There is also a faint star in the southern tip.

Description: NGC 4490 on todella näyttävä kohde. Sen spiraalihaarat ovat erotettavissa todella helposti. Ne näyttävät loivalta S-kirjaimen peilikuvalta. Galaksin ydin on diffuusi ja melko suuri. Eteläisen spiraalihaaran itäpuolella erottui heikko kirkastuma. NGC 4485 on pieni 12,3 magnitudin galaksi aivan NGC 4490 vieressä. NGC 4485 näkyi pienenä ellipsin muotoisena sumuna.
