The weather has been amazing here in Melbourne over the last few weeks and most nights have been clear. Seeing and Transparency have also been above average so I'm taking every opportunity to get out there and snap away! This was Saturday nights attempt at M83 under good seeing albeit a warm night heating up the sensor and a moon rising. As I look through my subs you can see the sky glow getting worse as the moon rises higher in the sky. Despite the drawbacks it turned out a nice widefield with plenty of faint fuzzies in the background to track down.
