Determined to get a few Northern galaxies in before the season closes, despite the persistent cloudy/misty conditions here.
After imaging the Antennae galaxies managed a clearish 37 minutes on M83 with the CFF140, with the same gear as used in my recent M100 posting, before it hid behind a tall tree to my west. Image is cropped but still a bit grungy and of course a bit noisy.
Thanks a lot David and Peter. I will try different noise reduction strategies.
Closer NSW and my ACT remain very clouded so I think I may not be getting any more time on the low Northern galaxy targets this year but M83 should get another go in June along with all winters nebula.
