Description

M63 the beautifull flower in the Northern sky, imaged over several nights in April (SQM 20). I went to lots of trouble stacking the 314 frames, for unknown reasons APP gave me black stacks. Also lots of noise, this was an experiment @ Gain 100 but I'm probably back to using gain 0 seeing the noise.

Anyway - what would AP be without problems? :-) I'm happy with this first processing, maybe some more follow on rainy days.
