M83 (galaxy fest mark II)

[peter_4059]

Here's the latest addition to the DSI/ED80/EQ6 galaxy hunt. Image is a stack of 25 x 1min subs through the red filter, stacked on the fly. If the sky is clear tomorrow night I'm definately going to give this a try with the 400D.

Is this a straight image...no processing??

Not bad.

Stretched in PS. Here's the raw FITS file (converted to JPEG). Of course if you want to see a sensational image of it check out Jase's recent post

Great image Peter, you've captured some great detail in the spiral arms.

I'm very interested to see how the 400D images turn out if you get the chance.

Cheers

Thanks Ric. Hope the weather cooperates tomorrow night. It has been magnificant all week but cloudy tonight (typical).

I'm also planning to give M83 another try with the DSI/Newt.

Nicely done - I'll try for it myself tonight if the weather gods permit
