NGC 4565

NGC 4565 (scaled down)
Many faint galaxies can be seen in background.

-

This beautiful edge-on galaxy, in constellation Coma Berenices, has a unbarred spiral structure.

Distance from our home planet is about 53 milijon light-years.

-

Transparency was poor, but seeing better than usually in my location.

Result from that, is tighter stars and some details can be seen in the galaxy disc.
