M83

So M83 is a bit of a challenge for me here in northern latitudes. I did apply extinction factors to the colors to compensate for the low elevation (over and above that of my G2V factors taken near zenith). Color is always a challenge close to the horizon for me. Image and details are at the link below.

scope - C8 at f/6.9
camera - ST8300M (Baader LRGB filters)

That is nice Jim, it is a tough target for me too, really in the worst part of my sky so I have not tried too hard to capture it.

Looks like you got good color correction. Yes, it certainly is a challenge. (Right now I am dealing with correcting for smoke.)
