M63 - Sunflower Galaxy

[GordonH]

Hi

While I am waiting for narrow band targets to come round again I occasionally like to try a bit of RGB when the moon is not there and the weather plays ball. This is of M63 which was taken over three nights and comprises of 24x10 minutes of Luminance and 15x10 minutes each of RGB. This is a crop of the full size image which can be seen at the following link

It was taken with the FSQ106ED and ML8300 on a Paramount ME

Thanks for looking

Best wishes

Gordon

Yep - nice one

I think that the detail is very nice indeed, but on a personal level, I'd rather see a little more colour in the galaxy.
