Default ASTRO: M94 - Cat's Eye Galaxy

I captured this a little while ago and I didn't get to spend too much time
with this. I was wondering if anyone has a good image of this galaxy? There
seems to be a "halo" around this galaxy. Next time I'm out I'll have to get
the tracking better and spend a bit more time on this before it disappears
for the season. Thanks.

Barry

Actually it has two "halos". The outer one is a nearly detached ring.

Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
