Where is the bar in M95? As strictly a layman in astronomy, there is much I have to learn, but usually I can locate the features in the APOD using the that day's caption. Does the bar run from eleven o'clock to five o'clock inside the ring around the galaxy center? Many thanks.

is a very interesting galaxy. I darkened the picture in PhotoShop and uncovered yet another circle of bright stars directly around the galactic center.

Hello All
All the bright spots are large clusters of stars probably millions in the cluster.
Very nice place to go for a holiday.
Take bookings.
