Being so low with a large airmass only ten stars were seen in the field but there's no question it isn't the right field.

Observations: There are three other galaxies in the field NGC 4430 (3 o'clock), NGC 4472 (M49 5 o'clock) and NGC 4434 (6 o'clock) and Stellarium shows at least 20 others in the field most at magnitude 14 or below. NGC 4365 is the biggest and brightest of the group and is at the end of a chain of stars that snakes toward the right of the field. It is fairly large compared to the rest of the galaxies tonight, a bit longer than wide. There is a central core, but doesn't stand out very well against the galaxy's background. The data says elliptical, I would have guessed spiral. The field might be worth a revisit on a darker night with better transparency and sky.
