DETAILS
This image of M63 the "Sunflower Galaxy" was taken on 25 June from my backyard
observatory in Ocean Springs, MS. It was taken under rather hazy skies
and over two nights since its was already past the meridian and slipping
into the sky glow to the northwest. Processing was done with Astroart
3.0, AIP4WIN and Photoshop. Image resolution is around 1.5 arcsec/px.
