Description

NGC 4725 is a barred spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices. It is known as The One Armed Bandit, because it has only one spiral arm. It is over 100 thousand light years across, and lies 41million light years away. To the left is NGC 4747, a 12mag. Spiral Galaxy, lying 66 million light years away. I tried to resolve the star stream that extends toward the left. NGC 4712 is the smaller, more distant Galaxy to the upper right of The One-Armed Bandid. It lies further away, at 288 million light years.

I only imaged for two nights. Not sure if I can pull out anymore signal from my Bortle 7-8 skies. Seeing was 8/10.
