Description

Presenting NGC4565 - The Needle Galaxy.
The Needle Galaxy is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices and lies close to the North Galactic Pole.
This classic 'Edge On' view illustrates how galaxies are disc shaped with a more bulbous central core.
This was imaged using an ESPRIT 100ED refractor  and ASI2600 mono camera.
Processing was dithered in APP to create a higher resolution image.
