Description

NGC4565 is edge-on spiral galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.

This was my first time using Voyager for acquisition - everything worked great in spite of poor seeing and cloud interruptions! I was imaging multiple targets over multiple nights so I made use of many of Voyagers features.
