IC 4107 Is one of the (If not) faintest Galaxies in the NGC IC catalog. SDSS list it at 17.2G Mag 16.4R mag or approx. 16.8 V Mag. It's a very LSB Dwarf not to far from M64 in Coma and was discovered by Max Wolf in JAN 1 1907 photographically. I have been asking if any one has observed it for the last few years on different on line forms and have not had much of a reply.
I know of very few observations of it and was wondering what is the smallest scope it would take to see this ghostly glow? I plane to try with different aperture scopes at the Texas Star Party to see what is the smallest scope to catch it.
This would be a good springtime challenge object and I would like to hear your positive or negative reports! I hope that some of the Deep Sky Hounds on her will sniff this one out and give it a GO.
