NGC 4565 Needle Galaxy

Image Description and Details : NGC 4565 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is one of the most beautiful galaxies in the northern sky. We exposed the raw data in 7 nights in our observatory in a double setup. It was 10.5 hours in total.
Our (Wilhelm Michael Kasakow & Olaf Guillaume) garden observatory is in Germany, near the French and Luxembourg borders. Through the countryside we have a Bortle 4 Sky
For the recordings we used two Lacerta-Newton 10"/f4 at 1000mm focal length with MGEN-3 guiding and two ASI1600MM cameras with Baader-LRGB filter.
The image processing was done with PixInsight and Photoshop CS6
