M83 unguided and faint

[jenchris]

I took this a couple of weeks ago - there's about 30 minutes of data from 30 second iso 800 exposures unguided - ( I was saving up for my SSAG) it's probably the last time I'll spend time taking pictures unguided

It's not a great pic - nor even a good one - but it is a beginner's pic and I'm actually quite proud of it.

That's a pretty faint object, u got a lot in that small 30mins :)
Just imagine what you'll get when u can guide ! :)

Congratulations! You did well to get that.

And so you should be proud of it.!
Nicely done Jen.

Nice shot for 30 minutes worth:):)

Once you get the SSAG, you'll be able to extend those subs out a good way and get a humdinger of a M83, then:)

I've got the SSAG now - but yes, that's the hope.
Thanks for the support guys - I feel like a very small fish indeed in this pond.

Nice Jen for unguided! I haven't even got to that level yet so congrats on catching this one and posting here.

Keep em coming and crew here have given me many tips and suggestions to improve.

Good luck!
