Hi,
The weather in SEQLD has been very poor and frustrating of late but did manage to get a nice shot of NGC5236 M83 from Early this year during some rare clear skies. This image was taken with my Meade DSI II Colour CCD on a cheap 150mm Reflector f5. I was using my NE6Q pro Skywatch mount and a Starshoot Autoguider on a 70mm Celestron Refractor.
Shot is composed of 11 x B&W at 600sec and 4 x RGB at 900sec with a light pollution filter(experimenting with this and have had some excellent results). The RGB shots where from the DSI set to Colour which produces seperate LRGB frames, I only used the RGB frames for the shot. Aquisition was with Meade Envisage, Stacked and filtered (Decon & DDP) in MaximDL, Final processing was done in Photoshop with Colour combine, levels & curves, Shapened, and Highpass as mask.
