Un oh Daz beat me to it! M64

[madjohn]

This is my effort at M64. a popular target it seems!

Taken at Kelling heath star party ( i was working so couldn't make SGL5)

17 X 10 min subs, darks subtracted, at ISO 800.

Taken on a unmodified Canon 450D, no filters through a Vixen VC200 at prime focus.

Guided via PHD, on a NEQ6 mount, stacked and registered in Deep sky stacker and lightly tweaked in Photoshop.

Hope you like it!

That's nice John! Yours has some nice dust lanes in there, which mine doesn't have (as yet!!)

Might have to pinch this and blend it in

Sounds good Daz, I'ld like to see that!

Very finely executed John - lots of subtle detail to explore and finely balanced regions from galaxy to space...

Congrats...
