Jeff Weiss took a neat picture of NGC 4725 and got me all stirred up!! I had
to check my logs for that object and was glad to see that it made my
favorites list :-)
NGC 4725 From AZ @21.62
Fav, Ghostly halo, brighter portion shaped like a "tie-fighter" with hints
of spiral structure, stellar core and 4 super imposed stars.
