NGC 4565 (also known as the Needle Galaxy or Caldwell 38) is an edge-on spiral
galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices.
It lies close to the North Galactic Pole and has a visual magnitude of approximately
10. It is known as the Needle Galaxy for its narrow profile. First recorded in 1785
by William Herschel, it is a prominent example of an edge-on spiral galaxy.
SPA-2 is an Officina Stellare 70cm (27.5 inches) F8 with RC design reflector telescope, situated in Oria, Spain. It is equipped with a set of Astrodon astrophotography and Sloan narrowband filters, and it is, therefore, an excellent choice for astrophotography of deep-sky objects and for scientific applications such as photometry.
