M83

Hi Guys,

Unfortunately the weather hasn't been great to do any type of imaging despite being in near drought conditions.
Fortunately enough, I was able to get one decent night out imaging galaxy M83. I only caught sbout 40 minutes of Luminance and 20 minutes through RGB filters. Hopefully I get some more clear skies soon to finish this image off.
Apart from the stars, I'm some what happy with the results, despite capturing little data.
