1st dark m83!

i cannot believe how dark dwellingup was!
this was our first relatively successful dark sky outing ever, and i was not disappointed
i was amazed firstly at how long the exposures had to be, more than five times the length i am used to!
dwellingup only about an hour and half SE of perth in the middle of state forrest
the pic does seem quite noisy too
apm 107 / 0.79 reducer
60da
orion 80 guide with lodestar
g11

10 times 10 min exposures
5 times 10 min exposures (thought i had 10)
no flats but i will add them soon

could not seem to get a decent image from PS so this is purely DSS!
any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated
