M63 Sunflower Galaxy, Canes Venatici

[Fay]

This is L18x300, 9x600, flats no darks, Atik, cls, 0.8fr, SW120

This should have been a lot better considering the amount of subs. The sky is a bit bright in that direction, also, when packing away, I noticed I had not put the dew shield up  Doh! So was probably suffering from a bit of dew & light.

Wow Fay you are really on fire 

You certainly don't seem to be having any problems with 10 minute subs, that's a really good image.

I guess it's coming around to being galaxy season again...

[Mike]

10 min subs! Wow!

Great image Fay.

[Fay]

Thank you very much, I am not very experienced with galaxies!

Excellent Fay,

I see these 120's are a great scope.

[Fay]

well, I think it would have been better if i had remembered to put the dew shield up!
When I was packing away, I thought, this dew shield is stiff, can't get it down............that was because it was already down!

[JohnP]

looks great Fay - you certainly picked a couple of tough objects to start imaging with your new scope....

[Fay]

That may explain the difficulty then John.

I did find 3x300 I had taken & kept, done with the 8" Orion, it was not bad

[Mac]

Nice image.

I am not very experienced with galaxies!

Another excellent image, Fay.

Certainly a nice scope, that one.
