I think your refractor scope has an aperture of 71mm and focal length of 350mm ?
To get an image of M83 with those numbers is pretty darn good to say the least
M83 is a dim object and requires some decent focal length ( and aperture)
I’m flattered by your comments about my M83 but my scope has 200mm of superstore and a focal length of 1000mm and can successfully image dim objects like galaxies etc that’s why I upgraded from my 6” f6
Great image considering your equipment !!!
Cheers
