M83 Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (Another one)

EzyStyles (Eric) · #1 04-03-2006, 06:08 PM

Took this last night from the Meade DSI. Had a very clear night. 1 minute exposure with 10 frames auto stacked in Envisage under Normal Operation mode. Seens like M83 is a target for many recently

no one likes it?

ving (David) · #3 06-03-2006, 10:57 AM

first i have seen it Ezy

congrats, you have alot of detail there

you seem to be enjoying your DSI

is it a touch out of focus tho?

Too many posts atm Ezy. Too easy to miss it. You need a catchy title like;

"Hey!!! Have a look at this M83. I'm stoked!"

That'll draw 'em in NP

Putting "(Another One)" on the end of your post seems to me (and this is just me, I can't speak for anyone else) to say "Oh Well, just another soso one

" Shout it out man! Let the world hear it!

Especially when you starting out and you feel you are producing good shots or shots that you want to share 'cos you feel you're making headway. And it is a good shot. Look how far you've come in just a couple of weeks. Hell some of the shot I took when I first got my Canon I erased straight off the camera :shudder:

i'll be targeting m83 visually tonight if all goes to plan

with 800+ members and posts everywhere its hard to view them all these days. I remember not long ago i used to be able to view every post just about.... now i miss heaps of threads

gee we grew fast!

Hi Eric - I thought I had replied to this thread! Maybe I replied to your other thread?!

Anyway, great image! your really producing the goods. Keep at it.

EzyStyles (Eric) · #7 06-03-2006, 08:21 PM

thanks guys!

wasn't sooking or anything lol

hey David, give M83 ago tonight. You guys know of any other galaxies under mag 8? I find Stellarium very limited on objects which makes it harder for me to find other stellar goodies.

Check this program out

It's a handy little program for looking for these sort of things.

G'day Ezy,

I don't like this image.......

I love it....

Mate what's the story, you've come a long way in a short time.
Well done.

And like Paul said, next time shout your title out so it stands out dude.
