Walker This is eric's first attempt at M95. The bar is really obvious but note particularly, the dark, semi-circular dust lane at 7 o'clock from the bright core of the galaxy and the extension of this dust lane heading out towards the spiral arms. |

Bill Leslie A Luminance Layer was created from a grey-scale version of the above image and added to the colour version. This reduced the noise in the image and increased the contrast in the spiral arms. |

Walker Eric reprocessed his original image by adding a Luminance Layer . The spiral arms and dust lanes now stand out even more, especially the dust lane at 2 o'clock from the core. |
