NGC 4462 (MCG -4-30-2, ESO 506 13, PGC 41150) is a 12.8 magnitude, nearly face-on spiral galaxy which subtends 3.2' x 1.1'. It lies some 70 million light years distant. This is a nice little spiral that lies way off the beaten path.

This image from the DSS shows a 20' x 20' field around the galaxy. North is down and
