Description

Finally a very nice clear night all night.  Galaxy season's in full swing.  I picked M94 to shoot last night.  Now looking at the data clearly this is a tricky object to photograph.  This has a very bright central core.  To capture this galaxy properly in the future I probably need 2 to 3 different sub times with shorter subs to capture the central core details better and then longer sub's to capture the very faint halo that surrounds the entire galaxy.  What an interesting object.
