M64 Black eye galaxy

Last night I tried another nice object: M64, the Black eye galaxy in Coma Berenices. It is a nice bright galaxy 19.000k ly distance from us.
This is a composition of 14x 2min autoguided at ISO800, totalling 28min. I could not make more exposures, because one of my neighbors decided to let his firebucket go out, and this smoke came in front of my autoguiding camera. But anyway, I still was able to capture the galaxy.
