M63 - Sunflower Galaxy
Feb 21, 2016 14:22:20 #
A more faint Galaxy in the M51 group. I just had to add a few diffraction spikes.
I was using the D800e, 400 second exposures kept 35 - from 8:00 until 4:30. Guided with PhD2. 30 darks, 120 bias and 120 flats. Processed in PixInsight and Photoshop. The image is clearly in need of more data. I plan (next decent night) to add another 35 subs to the stack and see if can get more data and less noise....or data ruined by noise. I was at 640 ISO.
On another note. I have SkyFi (Celestron Wifi) but why wouldn't this work.
