And yet another M83 (must be the season)

[Grimmeister (Anthony)]

As many others have stated, South East Queensland (or as I fondly refer to it now; South East Cloud land) has had nothing but crappy weather day after day after day after day after day .....

Sorry back to the point, we finally had a clear night so I took the opportunity to head up to Blackbutt to do some imaging.

Moon didn't set till around 12:30 AM so I took this while waiting for it set.

5 * 10 Minute ISO 400 subs on the CDS-600D.
No darks, flats or bias frames.
Stacked in DSS and processed in PS CS5.

I think I will have to have another crack at this next new moon to see if I can get better data.

The Lagoon was taken at around 4 AM this morning as was just a last ditch effort before sunrise while I had a sleep.

My word was is it good to get out and finally do some imaging.

Cheers and thanks for looking.

Nice pics Anthony.
Was definitely good to have some clear nights in brissy over the weekend.

Both look nice, stars could be a bit tighter, so something to work on.
I'll stick my neck out and suggest they are both a tad red to me as well??
You're right though, always good to be out, especially after a batch of less than ideal weather.

Hi Anthony,

Nice image. You have got some nice detail in there. Maybe a tad red but I think that has added to the image.

Cheers
