The BGO robot imaged NGC 4605 for me. A mottled, misshapen galaxy in Ursa Major. One of the RASC Finest NGCs.
Luminance only, 60 seconds subexposures, 10 stacked shots. FITS Liberator, Paint.NET. North is up; left is east.
There's a satellite trail through the image. Boo.
Near the top-left corner, there's a bright but small oval. That's MCG 10-18-76 aka PGC 42561.
I see two small faint fuzzies near the top-centre of the image, flanking the star J124010.2+614626, but they are not identified by SkyTools or Aladin/SIMBAD.

NGC 4605 was in my View Again list. Done. When I had first viewed in early July 2013, I had not thought it a great view.

Reshot on May 9. Without the streak.
