Messier 94 in Canes Venatici

[stevewanstall]

M94  looks a bit different to a lot of spiral galaxies, with a two ring structure. The outer ring is fairly visible, though the image would benefit from a few more hours exposure. I managed to lose a lot of images when  the telescope focus shifted on the previous night

Wikipedia: Messier 94 (also known as NGC 4736) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later. Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the "bar" structure appears to be more oval-shaped. The galaxy has two ring structures.
