The Needle Galaxy also called C38 or NGC 4565 is located in the constellation of Coma Berenices. It is clearly visible and unmistakable because of its shape, being a edge-on spiral galaxy about 30 to 50 million light-years away. I find this galaxy very unique and always wanted to photograph it, but it is pretty dim at mag. ~ 10.
