I managed to shoot a few targets last week and the Sunflower Galaxy M63 was among them. I still have yet to capture Luminance frames, so this is a RGB image only
Taken with an 11" Celestron EdgeHD with Hyperstar(F/2)
and a QHY23M cooled to -20C

M63, aka the Sunflower Galaxy is a 9.3 magnitude galaxy in the constellation of Canes Venatici, the hunting dogs. It is estimated to be anywhere from 37-43 million light-years away.
