I know everyone is sick of M83. I was in two mind about posting this one for a couple of reasons. Firstly I do hope to capture some RGB data for this and secondly there has been quite a few M83 of late and this was nothing special.
I have done just a quick stretch on this image and took a look around the starfield around the galaxy and behold a huge number of small galaxies poking through the dark so I thought it was worth posting and well worth having a look at the high res image.
There also appears to be what looks like a small PN around one of the stars but I can't find it listed anywhere. You need to look at the Hi Res version to see it. Right hand top.
The image is a combine of 10 X 15 minute subs captured with QHY9, Baader Lum filter and Takahashi FSQ106ED at f5. I love this scope.
