First Galaxy - M83

Pretty happy how this turned out, as I went out last night, and after spending two hours setting up (drift aligning etc.) thin clouds rolled in. I tried taking shots between bunches of cloud, but got a lot of light pollution in the process (couldn't use half my lights). Eventually I had to stop, because I don't have any dew heaters yet... time to spend some more $$

Not as focused as I would have liked, but I blame the misty clouds I may or may not have been shooting through.

35 x 45sec lights = 26min 15 sec
