M83 Crop with QHY8

A compiled image of M83.
8 X 15 minute images initially processed and stacked in Imagesplus.
The image was taken with QHY8 Gain 20% offset 120 through Takahashi FS102. The image had to be cropped to remove a gradient from a nearby street light. M83 was getting quite low and the light was a problem.
I am going to contact TRU Energy and see if they will fit a shroud to 3 street lights which cause me grief.
The final image was processed with Photoshop CS2.

I'm a bit happier with this one. Looks like longer exposures are much better.

Higher resolution image can be seen at the following location by clicking on the image.
