Regarding the faint stuff, I didn't think you PS'd it in  was just wondering if it was some very vague processing left over or not. I noted it in your LRGB (with some excitement mind you) so pulled it into Astroart5 and applied a Guassian stretch (which is great at showing up the faint stuff in the frame in one click) to your full frame image and it doesn't look like that B&W stretched image you have posted there   Just interested because I haven't seen that stuff before so if you have revealed something new lets showcase it  .

Well its the same data Mike so the only thing I can think of is the mask blurring has caused the effect you see. I'll check the RGB data as well to be sure. I don't think its anything new to showcase. I've seen a few images showing the extent of the galaxy around.

Thanks Allan! It has some faint structure to it which we can now call M83. No idea what the designation was of the galaxy it previously consumed!
