Messier 83 (Southern Pinwheel)

Hello all,
Well it's been a long time between drinks; I can't believe that I last posted an image here back in 2014!?! In that time I have revamped my telescope tube to eliminate some flexure and to cater for the different back-focus requirements of a Paracorr (replacing the ASA Wynne corrector). This was followed by a major failure of the mirror (crack developed due to thermal stresses) which I have replaced with a Royce mirror. Then some personal issues... Anyway, I have been collecting some data over the last couple of years and have finally processed an image after coming back up to speed with Photoshop / etc.
