Mesier 94

Messier 94- also known as NGC 4736, Cat's Eye Galaxy, Crocodile Eye Galaxy, or Croc's Eye Galaxy is a spiral galaxy in the mid-northern constellation Canes Venatici.
It is about 16 Million LY away....
It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later.
Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the "bar" structure appears to be more oval-shaped.
The galaxy has two visible ring structures.(WIKI)
