M83 (The Southern Pinwheel)

Hi again all

This is another shot I took last week under the skies of Coonabarabran which were cloudy and wet but all was not lost.

Exposure time was 9 x 15 minutes shot with the SXV-H9C through the ZS 110 guided with the ZS 66SD on an AP600E.

Capture align & combine in AA3 and all post processing done in CS2 and of cause a larger image can be found at my site for those who are interested.

I don't think that there is a more exciting galaxy to look at either visually or to image than a face on spiral and M83 a very large and bright one is no exception.

hi Louie,

that image is marvellous!!!
the amount of details is stunning - a jawdropper!!!
the only thing - on my screen here it is a tad too magenta...?
still a wonderful image, Louie!

best regards

Nice image Louie,

I used the image/adjustment/channel mixer in CS and adjusted the green channel. On my monitor balancing out some of the magenta by adding green did not detract from the image at all. Actually I thought it brought out more.

Wonderful shot Louie! 8)
