This spiral galaxy is also known as NGC 4258. It is in the constellation Canes Venaciti, and has a magnitude 8.4 and size 19 by 8 arc-minutes. It is 21 to 25 million light years distant.

A composite of a single 2 minute exposure and four 30 second exposures was taken with the 416 at f/3.3 in my driveway.
