Description

This is a wide field capture of the Needle Galaxy, which is an edge-on spiral galaxy located 30-50 million light years away in the northern constellation Coma Berenices. This one is a tough object to photograph from Australia as it hugs the northern horizon. However, I was able to get 25 x 120s exposures & happy with the result given the very short integration time.
