Description

Messier 64 has a diameter of 54,000LY and lies some 17MLY distant in Coma Bernices.  This was last of several galactic targets I shot on my recent dark sky safari to the great state of New Mexico.  Finally by this time in my trip the winds were at least starting to calm enough to salvage the majority of subs.  In this case I managed to get just over 6 hours.
