My Notes: There’s mot much to say about M58. I captured it immediately after M59 & M60 so check there for details on the capture. It was very easy to just slide my camera over slightly to capture this and as I found out later, M89, owing to the fact that they are all so close in the Virgo Supercluster. I would have continued on to the other objects but Virgo was getting low in the sky and these are so hard to capture in the best of time that I decided to stop. Captured 20 images June 4, 2021 from 01:04 - 01:42. Only 8 were usable. I can barely tell it’s a spiral galaxy in the image.

Herschel Notes: (1864) “Bright, large, irregularly round, very much brighter in the middle - hardly resolvable; rather mottled as with stars”

Lord Ross Notes: (May 3rd, 1851) “Gradually much brighter in the middle: a little extended south preceding [southwest] to north following [northeast]. Edges fade off very gradually.”

Messier Notes: (April 15th, 1779) “A very faint nebula discovered in Virgo,.. With the slightest illumination of the micrometer wires, it disappears. M. Messier reported it on the chart of the comet of 1779. ”
