Messier 83 in LRGB

A beauty I haven't imaged since ditching the DSLR for a QHY268M a few years ago! The southern showpiece that is the face-on spiral galaxy Messier 83 in the constellation Hydra. There's a lot of structure to this galaxy with well-defined spiral arms, dark dust lanes throughout, and a lot of nebulas (red/pink regions).
This target also happens to be first light with my new Antlia 2" LRGB Dark Series filters!
