Description

I've always seen M64 as a solitary object, barely photographed in wide fields. I recently noticed that IFN was present in the area, and I started this project, involving an Askar FRA600 refractor for the field, and a 8" f/5 Newtonian for the galaxy. This is the first time I use both of my scopes on a single picture. 

Askar FRA600 f/3.9 : 96x600s : 16h00
Newton 8" f/5 : 76x300s : 6h20'
