Description

M83, one of my favorite objects. I wished I imaged it when I was living in Australia (I spent most of my imaging time on asteroid astrometry) and it barely hits 30 degrees above the horizon where I now live and have to put up with the spring winds and jet stream when it is at its best. My first attempt at processing with PixInsight, from registration and stacking through stretching, DBE, HDR and noise reduction. There were no flats or darks used in this image. I have much to learn about using this software, but at least I have a start to expand from. Imaged using Sequence Generator Pro.
