M64 - Messier Object 64 -Black Eye Galaxy
aka: the "Sleeping Beauty galaxy"
M64 is in Coma Berenices, the middle of Deep Sky territory. SEDS has more info on M64, as usual. I replaced my previous Nikon D100 image with this new one in 2008. 22x4 minutes = 88 minutes total exposure. 1/31/2008 at the HAS site near Columbus. Canon EOS 20Da (unmodified), Takahashi TOA 130 (a 5" APO refractor) with Tak flattener, and Astro-Physics AP 900GTO mount. My current image processing workflow is here.
January 2008 HAS pictures are here
