Description

NGC 4565 - The Needle Galaxy

Wikipedia -
NGC 4565 is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.
It is probably a barred spiral
Distance to Earth: 38.49 million light year
Diameter: 140,000 light years or a little larger than our Milky Way. Some sources say 250,000 LYs.

I haven't been using Luminance images to give detail to my galaxies, but it worked very nicely on this one.
