M83

[E_ri_k (Erik)]

Hey all, haven't been on the forum in ages unfortunately. M83 seems to be in a good spot at the moment, so here's my attempt!

10.5 hours luminous, and 3 hours each RGB.

My first attempt using deconvolution, which i think worked well? Guiding was awesome, and the new WR35 NiteCrawler from Moonlite is AMAZING!

Hope you like it...

Hi Erik,
that's a very respectable M83.
The TOA-150 is really singing.

It's sharp and clear.
There are also many interesting other galaxies.


cheers

The decon is only noticeable at full resolution ...but not too bad

Thanks Allan, its a lot sharper than my old rig. I was impressed with the detail in IC 4309, and the one in the opposite corner (not sure what it is!)

Boom! Big impact & super sharp - gotta be happy with that result!

The stars and background galaxies in the fov are unreal. The main subject is awesome. Terrific picture.

A bold M83 Erik and nice wide field.

An excellent M83 Erik. The mount is going well I see.

The TOA150 is one of the worlds best scopes.

Cheers, yeah the faint ones are cool as! Took me a bit to identify the bottom right corner, but it is PGC 47885

Thanks Greg, yes the PMX hasn’t skipped a beat, not a single sub with tracking errors!
