Thanks guys, I'll have a look at the curves

That is a remarkably detailed and deep image of M83 for H alpha and those capture settings, very impressive indeed.

Hi Dennis, thanks for your comments. As I was imaging in Alt/Az I have to stay below 30 seconds to avoid star trailing. I am looking forward to reimaging this one with longer exposures in polar mode and seeing what the little DSI can really do.

It seems a little dark, can more detail be seen if it was lightened up a little?
Well done.

I tried to lighten it a bit more but it seemed to wash it out.

Hi winensky, I find imaging in Ha reduces the DSI blotching significantly.
Thankyou for your comments.
