M83

[whzzz28]

Finally got my Vixen VC200L collimated - or atleast close to it.

Now battling against flexure issues :sadeyes:
Tried to prevent them as best i could but i think it's not something i can fix without OAG or something.

Anyhow, first target was good old M83.
My processing skills are still lacking and the image is a bit noisy.

LRGB, 11x rgb @ 600, 20x lum @ 600.

Vixen VC200L w/ 0.64x reducer, QHY9 mono

Comments appreciated - if there is something odd/wring let me know. Especially if it is processing related :)

Good to see that scope being well used Nathan - looks very nice.

I was on the same target last night. Haven't processed my data, but think I should have gone for longer subs like yourself.

A very good photo Nathan.

Lots of nice detail and looks very sharp to me.
