Repeated imaging observations of NGC 4395 were made with the WIYN 3.5 m and the KPNO 2.1 m telescopes . From the photometry of the resolved brighter stars in this galaxy eleven Cepheids with periods ranging between 12 and 90 days have been identified . The true distance modulus has been derived from the apparent distance moduli in g , r and i . The distance modulus is 28.02 \pm 0.18 based on the LMC P-L relation by ( ) ; this corresponds to a distance of 4.0 \pm 0.3 Mpc . Using the P-L relation from ( ) , the distance modulus is 28.15 \pm 0.18 ; which corresponds to a distance of 4.3 \pm 0.4 Mpc . The reddening is calculated to be E ( g - r ) = 0.06 \pm 0.08 and E ( r - i ) = 0.10 \pm 0.08 , again from the distance moduli \mu _ { g } , \mu _ { r } and \mu _ { i } . In addition , 37 other variables have been detected , the majority of which have definite periods . They are probably all red long period variables .
