NGC 4414

NGC 4414 is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 62 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It is a flocculent spiral galaxy, with short segments of spiral structure but without the dramatic well-defined spiral arms of a grand design spiral.

NGC 4414 is also a very isolated galaxy without signs of past interactions with other galaxies and despite not being a starburst galaxy shows a high density and richness of gas - both atomic and molecular, with the former extending far beyond its optical disk.

L = 62 * 900 sec. bin1, R = 15 * 1000 sec. bin2, G = 15 * 1100 sec. bin2, B = 15 * 1200 sec. bin2.
