Description

LRGB image taken from the Bortle 5 backyard, processed in PI
using SPCC, GHS, archsinh, BlurX, NoiseX and Star X, also Topaz Denoise.

NGC 4565 has at least two satellite galaxies, one of which is interacting with it.[9] It has a population of roughly 240 globular clusters, more than the Milky Way.
NGC 4565 is one of the brightest member galaxies of the Coma I Group
NGC 4565 is a giant spiral galaxy more luminous than the Andromeda Galaxy. Much speculation exists in literature as to the nature of the central bulge. In the absence of clear-cut dynamical data on the motions of stars in the bulge, the photometric data alone cannot adjudge among various options put forth. However, its exponential shape suggested that it is a barred spiral galaxy. Studies with the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope not only confirmed the presence of a central bar but also showed a pseudobulge within it as well as an inner ring. (wikipedia)

Thanks for looking!
