Description

Croc's Eye galaxy. Messier 94 lies 16 million light years away in Hunting Dogs constellation. 33,000 light years in diameter, it is receding from us at a rate of 210 miles per second. Part of Virgo Supercluster.

This was a tough one to get some data of the outer ring without over-saturating the core. Captured May 12, 13. Processing was a challenge. This is the fifth try.
