A Dust Lane Runs Through It

NGC 4565

NGC 4565
Sketch By Serge Vieillard

Located 31 million light years away in the constellation Coma Berenices, lies the spectacular edge-on galaxy, NGC 4565. It’s length is bisected by a prominent dust lane, and is thought to resemble our own Milky Way if viewed from outside. Serge Vieillard sketched this galaxy with graphite pencil, and inverted it to resemble the view through the eyepiece.
