M64
Spiral Galaxy in Coma Berenices
NGC 4826
Mag 9.4
The
Black Eye Galaxy
30/04/13
Big and
bright, a real hint of shape
It is a
spiral?
19/04/15
A hint of the dust lane which gives M64 the name The Black Eye
Galaxy is visible in 12mm, otherwise a rather diffuse and hazy
Galaxy but easy to locate
18/04/17
AN's object of the month for April
Unfortunately, just as I located it the clouds rolled in!
No chance for a detailed look, but large and ragged with a
hint of the dust lane that gives it it's name when viewed in
8mm
Worth another look when the sky is clearer
