Considerable helpful discussion on this effort in the
GHS Group enabled visualization of various structures.
From Google to explain: Why is the Lost Galaxy called the Lost Galaxy?The galaxy is located in the Virgo Cluster, and when it's viewed through a small ground-based telescope, it looks fuzzy because the light is dispersed through the dust. In the 1950s, amateur astronomer and poet Leland S. Copeland observed the galaxy and named it “the lost galaxy,” likely due to its hazy appearance.

From Wikipedia:NGC 4535 is a
barred spiral galaxy located some 54=reference
[3] million [url=mw-redirect=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_year]light years[/url] from Earth in the
constellationVirgo.
It is a member of the
Virgo Cluster of galaxies and is located 4.3° from
Messier 87. The
galactic plane of NGC 4535 is [url=mw-redirect=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclination]inclined[/url] by an angle of 43° to the
line of sight from the
Earth.=reference
[4]The
morphological classification of NGC 4535 in the
De Vaucouleurs system is SAB(s)c,=reference
[5] which indicates a bar structure across the core (SAB), no ring (s), and loosely wound spiral arms (c).
The inner part of the galaxy has two spiral arms, which branch into multiple arms further away. The small=reference
[6]nucleus is of type HII, meaning the
spectrum resembles that of an
H II region.=reference
