M83

This was taken over the two nights before I did the NGC3324 I posted below.

Taken on my GSO 8" F5 newt with an ASI071-MC OSC cooled camera.
Guiding PHD2 with an ASI290MM on a ZWO 200mm guidescope.

It is 46x 5min subs captured with sharpcap. Those from the first night were flat/dark subtracted in sharpcap, and those from the second night were corrected in DSS. Then StarTooled - Startools is fun!! I've cropped off half the image.

What surprised me was that this one with 42 subs (over 2 nights) doesn't seem much better that I got using just 24 subs from the 1st night. But it could just be me processing them differently in startools - I was a bit more savage in trying to pull things out with the 42 sub version.
