Description

NGC 4725 is part of the Holm 468 galaxy triplet (NGC4725, NGC4712, NGC4747), it is the brightest member of the Coma Group and interacts with NGC 4747 (not depicted here).
The morphological classification of this galaxy is SAB(r)ab pec, indicating a peculiar, weakly-barred spiral galaxy (SAB) with a complete ring surrounding the bar (r) and somewhat tightly-wound spiral arms (ab). It is actually double-barred, a feature found among about a third of all barred spirals. (Source: Wikipedia)

My plan was to make exposures over two nights. But I don't know when the sky will get clear again, and the data was good, so I took what I have got from this single night.
