This picture shows you a large but very indistinct spiral galaxy NGC4395 that has positioned near a border between Vanes Venatici and Coma Berenices. You can find the galaxy out at around 7.7 degrees southwest from Cor Caroli. The galaxy has a size of 13 by 10 arc minutes or so, you can detect several lump of H alpha regions along its arms in this picture. But it's only central bulge you can appreciate through large ranged telescopes.
