Messier 83 (Southern Pinwheel galaxy)

While sifting back through data recently I realised I had quite a bit more M83 data from multiple sessions earlier this year then I thought. The colour frames were all collected unbinned, and there were a pretty a good selection of both 5 and 10min lum subs to warrant spending time on the processing. I've aimed to bring out the fascinating dust lanes and the Ha highlights (even though there is no pure Ha in here). Some of the colour subs were lost to poorish tracking unfortunately, ending up with:

8x5min Lum + 4x10min Lum
3x5min Red
4x5min Green
4x5mins Blue

Total LRGB exposure times: 80:15:20:20 (all unbinned)

All with the usual QHY9/MPCC/8" rig.
Thanks for looking...
