M74 is a Grand Design Spiral, face-on,
galaxy in the constellation of Pisces located about 32 million light years from
Earth. A grand design galaxy has arms of the galaxy that are well defined and
extends clearly around the galaxy.
This was imaged using a combination of
cameras and telescopes. I imaged the luminance with the QSI 683 wsg-8 and the
color data was imaged with a modified Canon T1i in 2011.
