NGC 4725 is a barred
spiral galaxy in the
constellation Coma
Berenices. It is
infrequently imaged by
amateurs, and I'm not
sure why -- it is not that
small, and has beautiful
colors, including the
yellowish glow of older
stars near the center,
and younger bluish stars
in the periphery. In fact,
4725 is a rare type of
spiral galaxy, only
sporting 1 arm (most
spirals have 2 or more.)
