Spin that wheel!

Folks,

M83 needs no introduction, it's a beautiful subject and there have been many fine examples posted in this forum recently and in previous years.

This shot was my first proper (=long) project with the ZWO ASI178MM, with its tiny 2.4 micron pixels, hanging off the back of my SW Esprit 100. The 178 yields a little more resolution but also needs a little more exposure time to calm the noise than my usual weapon of choice (ASI1600), so this is over 10 hours of total exposure time. I'm sure I could have gotten away with less. Pixel peeping is a tough habit to crack...

Constructive criticism/processing tutorials always welcomed

Cheers,
Dunk
