Description:
Easily found in Canes Venatici with the telrad by aiming at a point center 
and above the line (connecting the alpha and beta star) to make a 
shallow triangle with M94 marking the spot. The bright core was easily 
visible and round with no detail noted in its spiral nature. The faint halo
 of light that surrounds the bright round core was elongated.  I used 60x 
and 120x with similar results
