The Black Eye Galaxy (also called Evil Eye Galaxy; designated Messier 64, M64, or NGC 4826) is a spiral galaxy approximately 24 million light years away from Earth in the Coma Berenices constellation. It gets its names from a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus.

Black Eye Galaxy (M64)
A composite of 5 sixty second exposures thru my Meade LX200 telescope using my Meade DSI Pro III imager. The individual captures were calibrated using dark frames and flat frames and then stacked and processed using Stark Labs' nebulosity software. The telescope was guided during the exposures by an Orion 80mm Short Tube telescope with a Meade DSI Pro imager driven by Stark Lab's PHD autoguiding software. All light frames were taken through a Meade L (IR) CCD filter—no color information was captured for this object at this time. Light frames were imaged on April 25, 2009 between 10:06 PM and 10:36 PM near Ellenville, NY.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the Black Eye Galaxy (for obvious reasons). Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week features NGC4826 — a spiral galaxy located 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice’s Hair). This galaxy is often referred to as the “Black Eye”, or “Evil Eye”, galaxy because of the dark band of dust that sweeps across one side of its bright nucleus. NGC4826 is known by astronomers for its strange internal motion. The gas in the outer regions of this galaxy and the gas in its inner regions are rotating in opposite directions, which might be related to a recent merger. New stars are forming in the region where the counter rotating gases collide. This galaxy was first discovered in 1779 by the English astronomer Edward Pigott.

The Black Eye Galaxy. 121 Second exposure; ISO1600. All of the pictures from tonight have a bit of trouble with the telescope tracking, but I'm posting them anyway 'cos they're cool looking.
The Black Eye Galaxy (also called Evil Eye Galaxy and designated Messier 64, M64, or NGC 4826) is a relatively isolated[7] spiral galaxy located 17 million light years away in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It was discovered by Edward Pigott in March 1779, and independently by Johann Elert Bode in April of the same year, as well as by Charles Messier in 1780. A dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus gave rise to its nicknames of the "Black Eye" or "Evil Eye" galaxy. M64 is well known among amateur astronomers because of its appearance in small telescopes.

This was taken on a Vixen VC200L which I borrowed it for the night from Astronomia.
Working at F9 , this is my most difficult effort so far, and I'm well pleased with the result!
I hadn' tried taking photos at this focal length before
Taken at the Kelling Heath star party in March
Galáxia do Olho Negro (M64 ou NGC4826) é uma galáxia com um núcleo que visualmente se assemelha a um olho. Localizada a cerca de 17 milhões de anos luz da terra, é minha segunda captura deste objeto. Sem dúvida, esta bem mais definida. Um fato curioso desta galáxia é que enquanto o material interno próximo ao núcleo move-se em uma direção, sua parte mais externa move-se na direção contrária, diferente das galáxias comuns em que todo seu material gira ao redor do núcleo na mesma direção. Foto feita em bortle 8 com filtro L-Pro.
Black Eye Galaxy (M64 ou NGC4826) it's a galaxy with a core that looks like an eye. Located about 17 million light years away, it's my second picture of this object. Without a question, better and well defined. A curious fact about this galaxy is while all its matter next to the core spin in one direction, its outter region spin in the opposit direction, unlike other galaxies that all matter spin in the same direction around the core. Capture made in a Bortle 8 site, with L-Pro filter.

La galaxie M64, aussi appelée "galaxie de l'oeil noir". Image réalisée en empilant avec Deep Sky Stacker des photos réalisées avec une caméra Altaïr GP-Cam au foyer d'un télescope Skywatcher 150/750.
A collision of two galaxies has left a merged star system with an unusual appearance as well as bizarre internal motions. Messier 64 (M64) has a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus, giving rise to its nicknames of the "Black Eye" or "Evil Eye" galaxy. Fine details of the dark band are revealed in this image of the central portion of M64 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. M64 is well known among amateur astronomers because of its appearance in small telescopes. It was first cataloged in the 18th century by the French astronomer Messier. Located in the northern constellation Coma Berenices, M64 resides roughly 17 million light-years from Earth.
