Here is an image of NGC 4565 in Coma Berenices. I struggled a little with seeing, so there is more noise and less clarity than I would like. I have attached a midsized thumbnail, but a full size image as well as exposure and processing details can be seen at:

Scope was my C8 at about f/4.5 camera was my ToUcam SC3 RAW
