Description

This LRGB of M94 was taken in my back yard during the two brief periods of clear skies we had in April 2024.  Luminance was a mixture of 90s and 180s exposures while the RGB were all 180s.
The revision added a few more nights of data and I tightened the SubframeSelector to FWHM <1.8.  The stretching method was changed from GHS to ArcsinhStretch to help preserve star color.
