On this page I collect my observations of the spiral galaxy M
94 (NGC 4736) in the constallation Canes Venatici.
Introduction
The spiral galaxy M 94 in
the constellation Canes Venatici has, according to Karkoschka, a bright
prominent circular core. Only in the telescope, weak structures can be recognized.
During my observations, the galaxy, as expected, did not show more than a
weak glow... In the eVscope it can be seen well.
