Description

NGC 4565, the Needle Galaxy, is an edge on galaxy, about 40 million light years from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices; it has a diameter of around 100,000 light years [1].

The image was from one clear night in February and needs more data, which needs the clouds to clear for another night or two.
