Apart from the M83, there are some interesting faint-fuzzies plus a minor planet trail ( for fans of where's Wally, I won't give it's position away )
in this modestly deep field.

Peter, I'm a great fan of gray scale images like this. I am wondering if the faint halos around the bright stars are atmospheric effects, filter artifacts, or someting with in the optics of the RHA? I often get fog in Coonabarabran and get resulting halos.

Cheers,
