Description

The speed and the diameter of the Newton's mirror (the tube as I define it ...) allowed me to go beyond what is generally credited as M 63: the galaxy is bright, but not small and its diameter is fine. beyond the "petals" of the so-called sunflower. To highlight the outer halo and the faint curved protuberance above the core I had to push with the Luminance files (even if the Moon was starting to be annoying).
