I took this image with a quarter moon only about 25 deg away. I really needed more aperature as M63 is only about 9 X 5 arc min. wide. Using the 10" Meade SN at prime covers about 30 X 40 arc min. with the ST-2000. This guy is cropped pretty heavy. 3 ten minute exposures were combined and then processed in Photoshop. Always looking for comments.

Very nice, especially with the 1/4 moon. More aperture might be nice, but I'm somewhat partial to wide-field shots.
