M105 is an elliptical galaxy around the center of Leo.
The galaxy is lying about a degree north of M95 and M96, those three Messier's galaxies can be appreciated in low powered field of view.
The galaxy is one of principal members of a small galactic cluster formed by some dimmed galaxies around this field.
M105 lies at right of three triangled galaxies, and other two galaxies are named NGC3384 (upper) and NGC3389 (left), respectively.
M105 has a diameter of about 5 arc minutes and visual magnitude of 10.
It's a round shaped elliptical so you cannot resolve clear structures.
