Default PHOTO OF THE WEEK The No-Name Galaxy

HI there. Name for NGC 4565, during the "Star Bowl" competition at
the Astronomical League National Convention a number of years ago, John
Dobson gave this one the name "Berenice's Hair Clip". I like something
like Berenice's Needle, but you get the idea. Clear skies to you.
