More M83

[peter_4059]

I did some more M83 imaging last night with the QHY8 and added this to what I already had from a few nights ago, except I rotated the camera 90 deg last night so this is a crop rather than full frame. All up this is a stack of 25x5mins with flats applied. The image was taken over two nights with the near full moon using my 10" f5 Newt.

Judging by some of the other M83's posted recently this now looks a bit yellow but I'm pleased with how it worked out.

Processing advice welcome.

Nice shot, Peter:)

A little yellow, but it doesn't detract from the piccie:)

Really nice shot Peter. Actually I like the colours and see nothing extraordinary as it's just a bit different. Nicely framed as usual.

The detail is there for sure. Colours do seem a little funky, but that's easy to tweak.

Thanks Allan. I definately need to spend some more time on processing and learning about colour balancing. It all looks good when I process however it all goes bad when I compare to other images!



Thanks - feel like im finally making some progress
