M94 with ASI6200 (Updated to 6 hours imaging time)

[Xplode]

M94 is a galaxy i've never imaged before, i really like how it looks because of the dark ring and then a halo outside it so i decided to have a go a couple nights ago.
There's 2 version here, the bottom version has 2 hours of data and the top version has 6 hours of data.
 

Mount 10 Micron GM2000
Telescope TOA150B with 645 flattener

ZWO ASI6200MM

L 100x120s
R 30x120s
G 27x120s
B 26x120s

Total time 6 hours
Imaged from Askvang Observatory owned by Tommy Linnerud

 

I'm not fully happy with the core of the galaxy since it's a little burned out, but i was better to leave it like this than make it weird looking by trying to darken/desaturate it.
Stars are not perfect either

 

Thanks for any comments

This is the new version.
I also added an annotated version where a few of the background galaxies have been marked, there's probably a few thousand more which are just faint spots, PI found over 3000 galaxies in this FOV when i limited the magnitude to 20, there's still faint spots which aren't annoted :S
 

Please check the full version, do take note that the full version is half the resolution of the original image.

 

 

Here's the old version with just 2 hours of data.

L 17x120s
R 16x120s
G 10x120s
B 17x120s

The Detail in the cropped image is amazing. This, without a doubt, shows the true worth of the ASI6200MM sensor.  I need to start saving my pennies 🙂 

Great upload Ole.

Despite forecasted clouds tonight skies were actually clear so i managed to get 4 more hours of data, pretty happy with the improvement!
The ring around the galaxy is brighter, better colors and lots more background galaxies are visible.

Great detail in the crop, shows the resolution of this promising chip.
