Description

M94 aka Croc's Eye Galaxy.

M94 is an unusual double ringed spiral galaxy about 15 million light years from Earth. It has a diameter of 30,000 light years, so it's a small galaxy, about 1/3 the size of our Milky Way.

This galaxy was the hardest of all my previous galaxies to process, the colors are strange and the outer zone is very dim and difficult to bring out. I'm not sure if the colors are anywhere near correct, all other photos that I've looked had a wide range of colors. Let me know what you think !!
