Description

My broadband project for the April 2024 new moon. The southern showpiece that is Messier 83. A beautiful face-on spiral galaxy over 100,000 light years in diameter and 15 million light years away in the constellation Hydra. There's a lot of structure to this galaxy with well-defined spiral arms, dark dust lanes throughout, and a lot of nebulas (red/pink regions).
This target also happens to be first light with my new Antlia 2" LRGB Dark Series filters!
