Southern Pinwheel - M83

Here is a recent image I got. I have posted a mid size image but a full size image and processing details can be accessed at:

(be sure to click on the image for full size)

This was taken with a C8 at f/8. L:R:G:B 50:16:16:16.

I applied my G2V calibration as well as Atmospheric Extinction factors for color calibration.

Very nice detail Jim. Looks great.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm throwing up another post related to this image on a separate thread. I thought I found a supernova...

Jim,
Great job, particularly the detail on the inner arms.

Hi Jim,

Very nice details and color! Prior to your G2V calibration, your images had a red tint to them. Now I'm seeing less of a red cast to them. Good progress!

Interesting story on the "supernova" as well.

SWEEEEET! Looking good Jim, as usual.
