A very "difficult" galaxy to process, hard to pull out details, and the aperture is small.
But the object is interesting.
M 64 is two merged galaxies.
The gas-dust disk in the inner part rotates in the opposite direction relative to the rotation of the stars and gas at its periphery.
Angular size 10'x5.4'.
