What a difference a good night of seeing makes! The image on the left was taken by the LMI on the DCT during a night of poor seeing (that’s when the Earth’s atmosphere perturbs what is seen through a telescope). The image on the right was also taken with the LMI on the DCT in late June during better seeing conditions. M95 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 38 million light-years away.
