Spin that wheel!

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Folks,

M83 needs no introduction, it's a beautiful subject and there have been many fine examples posted in this forum recently and in previous years.

This shot was my first proper (=long) project with the ZWO ASI178MM, with its tiny 2.4 micron pixels, hanging off the back of my SW Esprit 100. The 178 yields a little more resolution but also needs a little more exposure time to calm the noise than my usual weapon of choice (ASI1600), so this is over 10 hours of total exposure time. I'm sure I could have gotten away with less. Pixel peeping is a tough habit to crack...

Constructive criticism/processing tutorials always welcomed

Cheers,
Dunk

Dunk, very nice. Is there some Ha in that mix?

Thanks Glen! Ha is sneaking in through the red filter, no Ha subs to date.

That's a great image Dr. Duncan , congratulations. Even more astounding when one realises it was captured with a 4" inch scope and a 2.75 micron camera.

Cheers

Good one Dunk, who needs big scopes when you can make images like that.

Thanks Rob! Even tinier than 2.75 microns - 2.4 microns

Thanks M&T! The 60 second subs worked out quite well in that respect
