Barred spiral galaxy M95 is located in the constellatio of Leo some 40 MLY from us. Nice object, usually photographed in wide field  together with M96 or even the M105 group.
An arrow on the right (=south) shows very distant but still rather bright quasar [VV2006] J104400.4+112723 with redshift z=4.068.

I was also surprised than very near to this extreme quasar there are yet some other (and still pretty distant) quasars, see the turned cutout (north is now up)..
