NGC 4565.

Object: NGC 4565 (Caldwell 38)
Type: Galaxy
Distance: 32 million light years
Constellation: Coma Berenices
Date: 08 May 2005
Equipment: SXV-H9, VC200L
Subframes: 30 x 30 seconds, 2x2 binned. Unguided, no darks or flats.

A final image from the, by then, gale force evening of May 8th, 2005. I cut the exposures down to 30 seconds to try and get at least some subs that hadn't been blurred by a wind-blown telescope, and I was absolutely amazed to find that AstroArt 4 was able to wring out some detail on what appears to be virtually blank frames.
