M83 under LP and Moon

Back in Sydney from OS used my 6” f6 to image M83 again under terrible light pollution and a 52% waning moon
Neighbour has a new 2 storey dual occupancy with 12 facade lights and 2 floods washing across my scope. Don’t know why you need so much light left on at midnight when sleeping in bed ? It’s got me buggered !
Anyway it’s not going to stop me from my hobby

60 x 2 minute dithered guided subs
20 x darks
Canon 600D ( sensor running at 23 deg which is ok for a DSLR I suppose)
Captured on BYEOS
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools

Normal and crop versions

Thanks for looking

Despite the less than optimum conditions ( ******* stupid neighbours wasted lighting ) that is a fine result for an 6" f6 scope, got to be happy with it.

yep, good result Martin. A lot of detail there for 2hrs under those conditions, but maybe push the processing button a little less hard?
