Description

This is an RGB image of the Croc's Eye Galaxy (M94) which was processed from approximately 178 five minute frames, spread approximately equally across Red, Green and Blue filters.   Although it would be ideal to use a field flattener with the TEC 160, only the reducer (an AP QTCC) provided enough back focus to fit in both the filter wheel and the off axis guider.   This is partly because of the additional length of the adapter required to connect the image train to the field flattener because of the nature of the connection.
The frames were collected over four different nights and there may be some additional frames available that will be added over time.
