The night of 4/24 while "killing" time waiting for
the main target of the night, I got some data from M104 and the galaxy shown here: M63.
It's not a jaw dropping image by all
means, but considering it's only 90 minutes of data I think it turned
out ok, and considering this kind of target is not ideal for the FSQ, I
think it turned out much better than what I expected after seeing the
calibrated image.

Nice shot. Could you tell me what the image train was with the 1.6 extender?
I have the same scope and camera and I still need to try the extender.
Thanks
