Description

Clouds parted long enough to resume my search for spring galaxies. One is beautiful NGC 4725 in Coma Berenices, along with a field of view companion NGC 4712. This Seyfert galaxy is 40 million light-years distant and shows gravitational warping caused by NGC 4747, not seen in this photo.
