hm ph: 520-586-2244 Bernie, It looks like you got caught by the hazy skies and 
turbulent seeing that we've been experiencing here in southern AZ this past 
week or so; your stars appear to be a bit more bloated and fuzzy than usual, 
but the guiding is impeccable. You didn't do too badly with the bright core, 
and actually it seems like you need a longer exposure to bring out the external 
ring. I just looked at M94 and a few of the other interesting galaxies in Canes 
Venatici the other night before the high, thin clouds of late took over.  
Clear skies, 
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Hi,


Here is an image of M94. This one was a real challenge and a learning
experience. The core was completely blown out with regular exposure lengths,
so I had to merge in some 30 second exposures of the core. Even with that
the RGB image was still quite saturated and hence while the core has some
detail, it does not have much color. Comments and suggestions welcomed.
