M83 - H Alpha

I was surprised that Ha alone gives a fair bit of detail on M83. It really does pick out the numerous nebulae in its arms. This was 60mins at F/8 on an RC8 with an Atik314L+.

Popped the Ha on top of the LRGB (again on an RC8). A bit too saturated in red maybe in the Ha regions, but I felt I had to make the Ha data feel useful in the final result !

Looking forward to trying the same with M33 - anyone found any other galaxies with a lot of Ha regions ?
