NGC 5236 Southern Pinwheel Galaxy

M83 using my new 8” F5 newt and EQ6-R
32 x 5 minute subs
Dithered every second sub ( low Dither )
15 x darks
ISO800
Canon 600D unmodded with Baader coma corrector
PHD2 guiding at 1.0 to 1.3 arc sec error
Warm night again , camera running at 31 deg C far too warm
Lots of noise even with minor dithering
Should have picked another object and wait for a cooler night to galaxies
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools
Extremely happy with the new rig especially the mount , it slews and tracks really well and so quiet compared to my old HEQ5 Pro Mount
Cheers
