Description

Messier 83 (NGC 5236) taken on July 27th, 2014.

35 x 45s lights = 26min 15sec

Stacked with darks, bias, and flats.

Pre/post processed in PI.

I'm quite happy how it turned out, as these were taken during a night with lots of high cloud cover (hence the not quite perfect focus). I tried to get shots in-between clouds, but half these subs were washed out with light pollution. On top of that, the dew hit hard..and without any dew heaters it was fun times!

Equipment:

8" f/5 Newtonian

HEQ5 Pro Mount Unguided

Nikon d90

MPCC Coma Corrector

Mac running BackyardNikon beta 2c
