Excellent image of M83 with only limited data , and beautifully processed too
Well done !!
There’s just no substitute for dark skies as I image from both B8 ( 18.50 mag/arc sec 2 ) and B3 ( 21.60 mag/arcsec2 )
What’s more impressive is that your humble 20kg rated EQ6-R pro mount is carrying that big steel Newt with ease by the looks of your image. Payload must be pushing close to 30kg. I have an EQ6-R in Sydney , they are just workhorses these mounts.
Mine only carries an 8” f5 Carbon newt so payload only around 13kg.
As a matter of interest what were your guiding numbers that evening ?
Cheers
Martin
