Description

Well, no chance of any imaging here for a while due to the elements!

So here's one I took a few weeks back and nearly forgot about.



It's M63, very well known and bright but with some interesting and somewhat unusual dust lanes. This was taken during our very brief 'summer' a few weeks ago. High pressure meant hazy skies but I took enough exposures to produce a bit of detail and some pleasing colour. 38 x 120sec exposures produced this one.
