NGC 4216 is a wonderful galaxy to view. See the link below for more detail.

Looks like two dust lanes in the shot. It is given the SABb classification = tight spiral with a bar. I find it hard to see a bar. The small circular galaxy to the right of the upper end is a lenticular galaxy. Just below it is a fuzz spot - distant galaxy at about 600 million lyrs away. From the lenticular go down at about 7 o clock is a elongated fuzz - 900 million lyrs away.

 NGC 4305 and NGC 4306

A delightful contrasting pair in Virgo. NGC 4305 (on the right) is a classic tight spiral (Sa) and NGC 4306 is a lenticular (SO or possibly SBO - evidence of a bar). The view is a zoomed in shot.

 NGC 4273 group (the spiral in the middle - SBc). Seven obvious galaxies in view but others lurk in the image.  This group are on the edge of Abell 1516 cluster. Mike
