Great stuff!

Thanks Slawomir, the colour palette here almost looks like NB to some

Cheers Mike'n Trish, it is those two galaxies that make an image of M83 to me, bit like the Up Yours nebula next to Eta Carina

Actually Steve Mohr's latest version of M83 shows the Tie Fighter arms on the smaller of the two wrap right around the galaxy,more like a ring!

Cheers Geoff, thanks mate

it's the important little things that often get lost in the focus on the colour and other processing variations
