M83 with additional data

I managed to get another 12x10 min of luminance data to add to the colour shot I had of M83. The detail afforded by the QSI 583 wsg really added a great deal more that I felt was missing from the last Sidonio of this galaxy that I posted. In fact if you look very closely at the two faint galaxies near the bottom of the piure there is an even fainter small galaxy that Ive not noticed previously.
Scope was 10" SCT at FL2500mm, guided using 72mm WO as guidescope.
I was pleased that the camera was able to perform despite a nearly full moon in the sky.
