A quick Souyhern Pinwheel
A quick M83, 4 x 2min subs LRGB. It doessn't really do it justice as it needs more and longer exposures but I was pressed for time and something is better than nothing

There doesn't seem to be a lot of signal there for 2 minute subs, which
scope were you using?

Hi raymo, the scope is a GSO RC 8.It is probably my lack of processing skills at this stage and the fact I rushed it before work.

Maybe they are photographically on the slow side; what is its focal ratio?
