note the very faint LSB-galaxy [TH2002] 318; It was discovered by Trentham and Hodgkin in 2002; Its magnitude is about +21.27 mag (blue) and about -12.02 mag absolute (which means if it was in a distance of 10 pc); For comaprison - M 100 has a magnitude of +10.5 (blue) and -22.4 mag absolute. This means, M 100 is about 10 000 times brighter than [TH2002] 318.
