Description

M63 always seems like a difficult one for me to process (as you can see by my previous 2 HORRIBLE attempts).  But I think I'm getting closer with this version.  I feel like I got the color right and captured the dust and shell fairly well.  Detail is still a little rough for a target of this size with the focal length that I have, but it is what it is...  In all, certainly my best attempt at this target.
