Description

Phew, what a crazy project this was... but we did it!
This image is a collaborative effort of @Jakob Sahner , @Jens Unger and me.
Jens and me run our shared remote observatory in Spain. Jakob is our dear neighbor with his scope right next to ours
While about 50% of the time, our scope is busy looking for new objects in the sky, the other half is dedicated to taking deep exposures of very interesting targets, just like M63.
Processing this image was a really hard task. Jens and me sent our data to Jakob so he can have a go as well.  While comparing our images I found out that a blend of 30% of Jakob's data and the rest of mine looked extremely well! So we decided to share this image as a collaborative post. Hope you like it!
