Description

M94. This is an unusual galaxy because of the outer rings. This is thought to be because the spiral is going from one state to another. About 25% of the mass is estimated to be in the outer rings, and a lot of the star forming regions, so this is not thought to be because of a nearby interacting galaxy.

I collected some Ha data now and added that in - there is a significant amount of Ha in the core of the galaxy - compare the initial to the final version of the image.
