M83 and The Prawn

Both images taken last night.
Scope ED127
Camera CDS1100D

The Prawn is just over an hour of exposure time.
I'd processed it in colour, then, for a bit of a lark I processed it to accentuate the Ha regions. It's got me wondering what I could capture using a not so narrow Ha filter.

M83 is 1hr and 40 minutes of data.

Both images I think are slightly out of focus but hey, it was a nice night to be outside. Will need to redo my drift alignment too. As the night wore on my stars kept getting eggier and eggier until I could only get 2 minute sub. The problem being, I'd just moved my mount (and it's 3 pavers) to a new spot in the back yard. I think it's still settling in.
