M63, The Sunflower Galaxy in Ursa Major



M63
This time I went nuts and punched up 4(!) hours on M63. That's by far the most I've ever done. This was unguided, while I was still testing out the new mount. Looks pretty good. Would probably be tighter with guiding. But *look* at all that detail!
M63
I tried out some 3-minute unguided images on M63. Worked OK. Lost a few images, and the clouds rolled in just about the time I needed to do a meridian flip... More data on this would clean it up, probably.
M63
First attempt at M63. Could use more work.
