Description

The challenges of imaging the black eye galaxy has far exceeded my expectation. The dynamic range of the imaging region was surreal. The M64 is extremely bright comparing to the surrounding IFN. Numerous methods were tried, and I have settled with the one that led to the current result. The 2019-2020 imaging season has been plagued with bad weather. I have no choice but settled with compromised imaging method. The finished image shows a complex and colorful detail of the galaxy core, while the rest of the image remains mostly black and white. As if in the harsh world, there is always a bit color to warm you up. That manifests the hope.
