I'm hardly qualified to comment but feel bad this hasn't generated any response!

Looks orright to me. What scope is this taken through, what focal length? Looks similar to my own first attempt at M83 a few weeks ago with my ED80...?

One thing I will suggest is exporting your JPG in smaller dimensions - it's a very large, very low-res image for me. Would look better at its native resolution rather than blowing it up; when I zoom out to 25% it looks about right.

Depending on what scope and focal length this was, not sure if the stars are slightly blurry / haloed due to less-than-perfect focus, or sharpening, or your optics, but I feel they should be a bit tighter. If I had to guess I'd say focus because that was my exact problem when imaging last night and this is how they looked.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt - I know pretty much nothing, I'm very new to all this! Looks good though mate, keep it up.
