Yet another M83

Still trying to make everything work...
and here is the latest but I just cant do much with the colour...anyways it is great to get a couple of nights of new data for this one..I threw out the old data... nice and clear and dark but a lot of moisture unfortunately.
approx three hours.. Askar 130 ZWO 2600 mono, ZWO mount and OAG LRBG..deep sky stacker..star tools and photoshop...took darks but no flats yet
...The focuser shows no back lash at all so I set back lash to 30 but probably I will go lower..you press the button and the focuser moves so back lash seems non existent..

Nothing wrong with posting an M83 image, Alex. You captured a great level of detail - the gas and dust lanes are very clear. The 130 seems like a good size for hunting galaxies and I look fwd to seeing more. What focuser are you using. ZWO EAF? Alex
