M64m64

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
