This artwork Eye of the sky is my interpretation of messier 64 with altered perspective and vastly enhanced color and brightness in my signature style of cosmic visionary realism.
Acrylic on canvas.

Time for a few more #EAA quick shots of some big #astrophotography beasts up in the sky at the moment. Sadly i must now wait an extra hour before the sky gets dark 😉 - Of course i’m still trying to avoid satellites but it’s tricky out there 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ #messier63 #messier64 #caldwell21

Messier 64, also known as the Black Eye Galaxy or Sleeping Beauty Galaxy, a stunning spiral galaxy approximately 17 million light-years away in the Coma Berenices constellation. This image showcases its distinctive dark dust lane creating a "black eye" effect, along with reddish star-forming regions. The galaxy's unique feature is its counter-rotating inner and outer regions, a result of a past galactic merger.
