Last night was beautifull again. Clear skies almost all night! This is an object I wanted to image for a long time; NGC 4565. It is also called the Needle galaxy because of its slim shape, seen side on. It lies at a distance of 43 million lightyears in the constellation Coma Berenices. This image consists of 25 frames; exposure time 5 minutes each at ISO1600. 8" Skywatcher Newton telescope on an EQ6 Syntrek mount. Camera; Canon EOS400D (Baader mod.)
