Absolutely one of the best m83 shots I’ve seen. Congrats!!

I was going for the Catherine wheel look, so went the bonkers on the colour saturation....

Thanks for your positive comments. I suspect I'll be adding more data next year due the east coast weather that is breaking all flood records as we speak.

As an aside the carpet in my normally water tight Sirius Dome was totally saturated by the recent deluges...now pulled up and hanging out to dry... while I re-caulk all the wall and floor seals. Thankfully the instruments are all unaffected.

Here's hoping the winter skies will be clear....
