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.
