The Black Eye galaxy, located in Coma Berenices is 17 million light years from Earth. Messier 64 has another nickname, the Evil Eye Galaxy. Messier 64 also carries a designation of NGC 4826 and was discovered by English Astronomer Edward Pigott in 1779.

The image was taken using 9 sub-frames at 600 second exposures each. Polar alignment was achieved using a QHY - Polemaster camera & Plate Solving for guiding.
