Description

Messier 63 or M63, also known as NGC 5055 or the Sunflower Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici with approximately 400 billion stars.

Another image taken while fine tuning my RC. Collimation and focus both improved night over night. I kept most of the images anyway.
