Thanks Ginge! It took some coaxing to get the details to show in this galaxy - much less detail than it's neighbor M95.

yes lots of detail, more than I remember seeing. Is that another galaxy behind the arm on the left or a weird nebula?

Thanks Gene. That thing in the upper left arm is an edge on spiral.
