On this page I collect my observations of the spiral galaxy M 90 (NGC 4569) in the constellation Virgo.
The spiral galaxy M 90 in the constellation Virgo is seen nearly edge-on with a bright core. The galaxy is a member of the Virgo galaxy cluster and is probably gravitationally coupled to the galaxy IC 3583 (Arp 76).
The four Messier galaxies M 58, M 87, M 89, and M 90 form a triangle in my Vespera mosaic (see below) with a bright dot in the center. M 90 is the upper edge of the triangle (in my Vespera mosaic).

The four Messier galaxies M 58, M 87, M 89, and M 90 form a triangle in the Vespera mosaic with a bright dot in the center. M 90 is the upper edge of the triangle. At the bottom left, there are the Siamese Twins NGC 4567/68.
Above M 90 there is the galaxy IC 3583, to which M 90 is presumably gravitationally coupled (Arp 76).
