Hi all, I persevered with gusty winds last night to get a couple of hours on M83. The winds were playing havoc with poor old PHD all through the session.
Anyway, tonight I started to process what I have got and had to cull quite a number of my subs due to wacky shaped stars.
Perhaps I should have culled some more as I have lost some of the detail I could see in some of the individual subs.
Imaged 35 x 3 minutes and 5 x 5 minutes. I culled 15 of the 3 minute subs so the total integration used in the image was 95 minutes.
The poor little galaxy looked so small in the frame, I cropped it quite heavily.
The result makes me think it is worth another go on a still night. Higher resolution image here:
