M83 from dark skies

I tried imaging M83 a few weeks back and wondered why I couldn't get a decent colour balance. Turns out I had the filter wheel out of sync with Nebulosity so the files are incorrectly labled. Sorted that out so here is a better M83 IMO

Taken in dark skies outside Toowoomba, with the WO FLT110 and Moravian G2-8300. LRGB 1hr each filter @5min subs + Darks and Flats caputred in Nebulosity and processed in CS3

Comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking

Good to see you've beaten your filter wheel into submission, Geoff! That looks much better.

Cheers,
Rick.

Guys thanks for the comments, I'm happy to have sorted out a few issues with the capture program and the camera

Cheers Geoff
