M83 - first (deep sky) light with my 200mm f6 newt

After recently adjusting the mirror position of my 200mm f6 dob to allow prime focus DSLR imaging and now mounted on a NEQ6, i've finally had first light on a deep sky subject - M83. Also trialled the rig in a side-by-side rather than piggy back configuration.

50 x 4min subs @ ISO800, collected over two nights with a modded 400D plus dark, flat and bias frames. Processed in PixInsight (which i'm still coming to grips with).

Thanks for stopping by
