Getting back into it ...M83

Hi all,

After quite some time away from capturing DSOs, it was time to have yet anther crack at the Southern Pinwheel galaxy. With only light frames 10x120sec at 400iso and a sensor temp of 36 degrees, I think I did the best I could with it.

I'm interested to know whats the best filter for eliminating light pollution money can buy. With the dry session here the red levels are is just through the roof on the RGB level chart. As for the the heat of 550d sensor, im just going have to get a astro CCD in the near future.

All in all it was just great throw the telescope back up, and blow off the cobwebs!!

Dan.
