Croc’s Eye Galaxy M94

If I could take longer exposures (or buy a better telescope, the one I have is not bad, but…) I would be able to capture more detail and color. BUT, this version really looks like a Croc’s Eye which it wouldn’t if I had more sophisticated gear. Sounds like the situation when it was originally named.

ASI585MC Pro g252, AskarV@600f7.5, 70 10min exposures (11.7 hours total) +darks/flats
AM5/ASIair+, Askar 32mm guidescope with ASI120mini for guiding

PixInsight (PI) 100%. This is my 10th pic developed using PI exclusively.

I took the images for this pic back in February and it has taken me this long to develop it as I have been working on learning PI in depth.
