M83

Hi again all

This is another shot I took last week under the skies of Coonabarabran which were cloudy and wet but all was not lost.

Exposure time was 9 x 15 minutes shot with the SXV-H9C through the ZS 110 guided with the ZS 66SD on an AP600E.

Capture align & combine in AA3 and all post processing done in CS2 and of cause a larger image can be found at my site for those who are interested.

Hi Louie

That is a beautiful image of M83. I cannot recollect seeing one where the galaxy arms were so dense – the knots and dark lanes are fantastic.

Cheers

Beautiful structure and colour, on my favourite object. Thanks for sharing Louie. You seem to be spending a lot of time in Coona. It's paying off by the look of this one.

[geoffrey]

hello my name is Geoffrey, and i am just a beginer venturing into this field.Any advice would cheerfully and gratfully be appreciated.

[iceman]

Hi geoffrey, :welcome: to IIS. You live just around the corner from me!

What sort of advice did you want? It might be best to start a new thread rather than go off-topic in Louie's great M83 thread.

[atalas]

Hi Geoffryey ! welcome to IIS mate!

You'll find lots of help here mate and I'm sure you'll have a ball as well.

Good advice from the Iceman though(his the big boss here) the beginners forum would be a great place to start and of cause your still always welcome to jump in my threads too.

Louie,

Lovely work and one of the best M83 images I have seen from a 4" scope. Lovely round stars so the mount is obviously tracking beautifully.
