M64 as taken with the SBIG ST-7 CCD camera.
Track and Accumulate, 24 images of 60 seconds each,
10″/6.3 SCT.
Scaled and combined using Adobe Photoshop.
The upper left image is raw (dark subtracted only).
The lower left is processed with Hidden Image.
The upper right has been enhanced (Unsharp Masking), using
SkyPro, to show faint details at the noise floor.
The lower right shows the core.
The “blockiness” in the images was introduced in Photoshop during scaling.
