Description

M63, or the Sunflower Galaxy, is a flocculent spiral galaxy located 27 million light years away in the Canes Venatici constellation.

Another one chalked up for galaxy season! This is a faint object and one I found tough to process. I pushed the data a bit harder than normal to try and bring out more of the faint outer galaxy.

Thanks for looking!
