Description

I have been looking forward to going after this one again ever since I upgraded to a cooled camera from the DSLR. Challenging to shoot this target as it peaks between the branches at my 37 degrees North latitude. Cant wait to go after it yet again someday with a bigger scope.

M 83 is a Barred Grand Spiral galaxy 14.7 MLY away. It is notable for having had six supernovae in the past 100 years.
