M94 - Hydrogen in Croc's Eye Galaxy (LHaRGB)

Revision title: M94 crop

The Hydrogen data absolutely fascinated me! This Messier Catalogue Galaxy shows a very distinct Hydrogen concentration in the inner region, just around the core.
The spiral bulk, the separating ring and the faint outer region merely show patches of Ha here and there.
Also the predominant hue in this target is a yellowish plane beige (at least as far as I can tell after processing with SPCC), making the red highlights with blue tint even more interesting.
I will definitely revisit this target next season for more faint details, although the 44 hours of data probably already reveal the majority of faint star streams in the outer halo.

Cheers,
Robert

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
