M63 - Sunflower Galaxy
Sunday, May 24th 2009 - 22:00 (UTC) - focal ratio f/4.5
I added some color data to this image.
The new icx414aq modded webcam was used in nonraw color-mode. In total about 51 color images of 15 seconds exposure were stacked using my own stacking program. The color data was not taken in prime focus, but a cheap 0.7x focal reducer was used. Details about the luminance data can be found in the link above.
The luminance and color images were combined and processed in Photoshop.
