M83 Revisit and improvement

[Karlz (Karl)]

Now that I've upgraded my camera and programs used to process, I thought I would revisit some targets I had previously done with my Canon 700D. I took this last night with the moon 8.6 days old, I had my RC at it's native f/l. After an issue and two with guiding everything fell into place, the only filter used was an ir/uv cut for my 071MC.

Initially I started out with 80 x 180sec subs though when that was abut done I threw another 30 for good luck. Mid way through I had my meridian flip which was no worries except I still had it programmed for the Tweezer galaxy I was monitoring from the warmth of inside to see the first sub after the meridian show up Tweezer, my mind went straight to "I've stuffed up stories" in general chat.

Here is a comparison from when I did it sometime ago to now, just a little different.

Hi Karl,

looking pretty sharp there a nice improvement, it would be worth a reprocess being careful not to black clip the rgb channels

cheers

I wasn't happy with the first in the end and after Russ's comment I had another go. I just opened it in APP again as it was when integrated and saved as is, a few tweaks in photoshop to bring some detail out and remove some dust bunnies. I think I can do better.
