Description

Since the Moon was still going to make the sky bright, I decided to image the barred spiral galaxy NGC 4235 in Draco. I found this object scrolling through SkyTools (Imaging). It is very large (about 2/3 size of Moon) and just barely fits in the processed image without cropping.

NGC 4236 is part of the M81 galaxy group and is about 11 million light years away.
