Description

Good evening,

Last Saturday, April 25 the skies in Cheshire (UK) were clear, so I took the opportunity to save some ancient light.

NGC 4565 has the nickname "Needle Galaxy"

The core, of this galaxy, bulges from a thin disk of material from the galaxies spiral arms. And the core appears divided by thin, dust, obscuring lanes in its galactic plane.

Here is the result- NGC 4565, taken through my Altair Astro 115EDT and Atik 428 camera.
