Description

M 63 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is also known as NGC-5055. Another SRO image taken in April thru August 2021. The number of targets and my settings for ACP Scheduler limit the time to image to that just approaching the meridian and the crossing. At best I will sometimes only get an hour or two per target per imaging session depending on how many targets are active in that same area of the sky. I may change that strategy with the 24" and have fewer targets active per run. That would facilitate faster accumulation of data and now that there will be a CMOS camera in play, the AC4040BSI, the amount of data may well be less needed. That remains to be determined. They setup isn't quit ready for use just yet.......
