Comments:  NGC4565 was discovered by William Herschel in 1785.  This considerably bright, very large edge-on spiral galaxy is thought to resemble how the Milky Way galaxy would appear if viewed from outside.  The temperature was in the mid-30s.   To the lower right of NGC4565 it appears that the 14th magnitude galaxy NGC 4562 is to the lower right of NGC4565. Other faint galaxies are visible in the image.
