    Messier 91 (also known as NGC 4548) is a barred spiral galaxy about 63 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was most probably discovered by Charles Messier in 1781 and independently rediscovered by William Herschel on April 8, 1784. M91 is a member of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies.

    Messier 93 (also known as M 93 or NGC 2447) is an open cluster in the constellation Puppis. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1781. M93 is at a distance of about 3,600 light years from Earth and has a spatial radius of some 10 to 12 light years. Its age is estimated at some 100 million years.

Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the "bar" structure appears to be more oval-shaped. The galaxy is also notable in that it has two ring structures.
