Here is an image I made of M83 in a somewhat wide field (30') I have attached a mid size thumbnail. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/M83.htm

The Scope is my C8 at f/2.8. The camera is my ToUcam SC3. Total exposure time was 36 minutes for LRGB exposures.

I also have a wide field image of M95 and M96 taken with my Megrez II ED. In order to capture both, objects, the field lacked resolution of any of the objects details, but it does show them together.
