A most excellent M83 Ben!

How did you find the transition to the 071 from DSLR? Is it harder / easier to use?

Hi Kevin

I found it hard at first, but after a while I got the hang of it, as I imaged with my Nikon, I already knew how to image long exposures.

Next step for me is to get a monochrome camera down the track.

Nice M83!
I'll be watching how you go with it as I've also got an 071.

What a gem....I like the offset positioning of the galaxy..there is also so much rich detail in the rest of the field of this great image.

I redid my image, made the sky a bit blacker, removed more Amp glower. Slightly increased the colour.

Big improvement. That's main forum material. Consider yourself graduated from a beginner. :)

Wonderful detail and color. Compliments to the chef...
