If anyone can identify the nebula (faint) above M64 I would be grateful.
All the best.
Lester, I've tried solving this with Unimap and with astrometry.net. Neither can identify it, even if I go as far as the USNO-B1 catalog. I suspect that some part of the stacking has altered the geometry. Have you got an unprocessed frame to try? If you can get the RA/Dec from that frame you can look the co-ords up in Vizier.

It's another perfect day in Sydney for reading emails, books, plate solving, ...
