M83 Wide quickie

Just a quick 46 x 30 sec shot of M83 with my Tamron 500mm f8 mirror lens before the moon rose last night. I'm so used to GOTO now that I forgot how difficult it was to find small targets in the night sky without it. Took me a while to locate it and put it on the sensor of the DSLR. The Ballhead on the iOptron Sky Tracker is a bit sticky, so it was hard to adjust it smoothly in small increments without throwing the galaxy out of the frame.
