Patrick Holland patrick@pcalliance.biz 7/7/2010 11:20:56 PM M64-The Black Eye Galaxy (back to the M's again). This was imaged on 6-30-10. It is not my best image. I have fought to remove all of the noise but this was the best I could do with MaxIm DL Essentials and Photoshop. Taken with the 10" Meade LX200ACF Scope w/the Meade .63 focal reducer and the Orion StarShoot Pro V2 camera. (F5.9, focal length 1519mm). At only 17 million light years away, it is relatively bright.
