M83

Hesitant to submit given the huge number of superb M83s I see on this forum, but my first attempt at M83 from a dark sky site.

5 hours of data with a QHY8 on an RC8 + EQ6. Shot in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia over a largely cloudy and windy weekend! Some subs abandoned due to wind gusts but tried to keep some ones that enhanced the signal at not too much cost to FWHM.

Higher res on Astrobin.

Comments welcome, e.g. I was a bit gentle on saturation. Could it do with increasing?
