Messier 94

This image is based on:
L 56 x 180s
R 25 x 180s
G 20 x 180s
B 23 x 180s
Gain 139 and offset 21
When it was registered and stacked, I had 2 x drizzle turned on. I will  process it normally as well, eventually.

The outer ring is fairly visible, though the image would benefit from a few more hours exposure.

M94 in Canes Venatici 2 x drizzle
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.
