M95

Is described here in Wikipedia.

It is a barred spiral galaxy about 38 million light years away. One of a pair (with M96) underneath the body of Leo, west of the Leo Triplet.

I imaged it with the 16" Meade and SBIG ST-2000XCM one shot colour CCD camera. 9 frames of 5 minutes exposure were captured using CCDOPS software. This was also used to calibrate the light frames and to stack them into a final image which I then further processed in Photoshop CS3.
