Another impressive capture David!

I'm posting one of M63 using the Infinity on a much smaller Explore Scientific ed102.  No competition for your 30" scope, of course.  But sufficient to show individuals that even a smaller scope can see galaxies.  In case anyone is interested, this was using the Atik Infinity SW and was a stack of 13 images for a total time of 780 sec (60 sec each).

Hi Jim,

I'm use Pixinsight to process images - its an amazing software.  I took your image and the attached took 5 minutes to show further detail is in there!

With the raw images I bet you it would be way better than this.

You may be surprised what amazing things are possible with a smaller scope!

Thanks David,

I hear it is quite the SW for enhancing.  I see that most of the better images have all been processed with it.

Hi Jim,

Yes I think its great processing tool but a difficult learning curve.
