Spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices. When observed through a telescope of medium or large aperture under dark skies, NGC 4565 is a very impressive sight. The long spindle shape of this edge-on galaxy can extend across the eyepiece's entire field of view, and its dark lane can be seen cutting through the bright nuclear region. This galaxy is about 32 million light years away.
To the lower right in this photo is a smaller oblong galaxy, NGC 4562.
