Last group of the night
as clouds are becoming more frequent. Away from the Markarian's chain and
to the east, but not much. The Siamese Twins. Listed in the project

regions stand out and are close, but separated. The very faint eastern
parts of both galaxies seem to join and form a "V". A faint galaxy is to
the north, NGC4564, nothing special.
