The filter good for nebula's apparently but I forgot I had it attached as one does late at night. I had the street lights go out about 10:00pm so it made for a nice dark night for me however I had problems with PHD it just wouldn't lock onto a guide star kept returning an error "not enough star movement".

My original intent for the night was to go for NGC4372 but with all the and this is what I started on but with the hassle I had with PHD (most unusual) I switched over to M83.

I took about 24 minutes data of NGC4372 but it was binned just didn't cut it and wasn't what I was looking to acheive so i'll save that target for another night
