M94, The Croc's Eye Galaxy
« on: May 30, 2012, 10:14:43 AM »
And here is my final image from last week (actually the first set of data acquired). It's M94, with it's bright core that requires an HDR composite to tame. I am very happy that the faint outer halo is allready showing, despite the grey nights. Will need some more data next year to make it stand out more.

Details and larger version on my site.

That looks great Tim! I don't think I've seen it with the outer halo before.

Thanks guys,

It's been good to be out there again under the stars, way too much cloudcover overhere.
