A distant Galaxy

Not so distant but it does look lost in that field.
Taken on the friday night at the SPSP 2015 with my 8" F/4 newt and QHY8. About 20 subs of 5min each so nearly 2 hours.

Not too savy on galaxies and particularly processing. Probably because I've never really done long FL imaging. M83 is actually the only galaxy I've ever shot. Apart from the milkyway. But I'm planning on changing that with a Mewlon 210 coming soon, hopefully, and brush up on processing gradients and star colours.

Got a full frame 1:1 here [2991x1985 - 3MB] with a couple of background faint fuzzies to my surprise.

HD version here [1920x1274 - 1.6MB]

Out of my comfort zone but looking forward to trying new things.
Tips and processing comments welcome.
