The Croc's Eye galaxy

[jazzin]

My second attempt at capturing M94 the Croc's Eye galaxy. The moon was just past first quarter when I shot this so I had a lot of gradients in the image which is why i had to crop it so much. But I still think it came out ok. This is 42 - 6 min frames calibrated and integrated and processed in PixInsight taken through my Orion 8" Astrograph with my modded Canon T7i dslr

Hi Scott. A very nice Croc's Eye Galaxy (M 94) image. A fine central core and excellent spiral arms details in your capture. Thanks for sharing this work with us on here Scott and congratulations on receiving the TSS APOD Award today.

Never knew it was called Croc's Eye. But the name does fit -- especially as viewed in the detail you managed to capture in your image.

Congrats on the TSS APOD award.

The image before I cropped it does resemble a crocodile's eye or a dinosaur eye. It is freakishly uncanny

Congratulations on the APOD.

Great inner detail and you've even captured some of the outer spiral arms in less than ideal conditions. Well done!
