Description

One of my first target in LRGB.
I did some other targets, and this one is the one with the less data I collected. My session was during a fairlly cloudy night and my NINA sequence stopped for some unkown reason.
But irronically it's the one I prefer.
I will surely try to add new data as soon as my sky will be clear again.

M 64 is nicknamed the Black Eye galaxy, but also (and I kind of prefer this one) the Sleeping Beauty galaxy.

It is a spiral galaxy located 17 millions lights years away from us.
