M-95 Galaxy in Leo |
|
| M-95 is a barred spiral galaxy in Leo. It's appearance in many astro images give it the nickname "Tie Fighter" Galaxy. The image shown here only captures the central area of the galaxy. I need to revisit it with a larger field of view and try to capture the full extent of the galaxy. M-95 is a close neighbor to M-96. In fact it's possible to see both galaxies in a lower power eyepiece since they are separated by about 41 arcmin. Both galaxies should be easily visible in a 6-8 inch telescope. | |
