Description

First real project with the 152mm Refractor.   Guiding was pretty dicey and had to throw out about half my subs due to that, and my house getting in the way.

But i really like how it turned out.  Enjoy! 

Per Wikipedia:
Messier 94 (also known as NGC 4736Cat's Eye GalaxyCrocodile Eye Galaxy, or Croc's Eye Galaxy[7][8]) is a spiral galaxy in the mid-northernconstellationCanes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781,[9] and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later. Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the "bar" structure appears to be more oval-shaped.[10] The galaxy has two ring structures.[5]
