M94, Spiral Galaxy in Canes Venatici




M94 Trying to round out the largest Messier galaxies. M94 has a surprisingly large footprint
for a galaxy that doesn't otherwise get much press. Very bright core, *very* dim outer arms.
Despite 2 hours of integration, I didn't get much. Maybe this is a case for 3 or 5 minute subframes.
Or, as always, shooting this object from darker skies.
