NGC 3115, know as the "Spindle" galaxy is seen edge on.
The Galaxy lies approx 20-25 million light years distant. This image
was
taken from my backyard Observatory in Ocean Springs, MS. A
total of (24) 120 sec unguided exposures were stacked. Processing
was done with
Astroart 3.0 with final balancing in Photoshop.
