Description

My first shot at M83 yesterday with no moon with the target near the zenith. I took 18 of 22 exposures for stacking and the target guiding was wind affected so I will be searching for better conditions to improve on detail. I am curious how much more I can retrieve with 2 to 3 times more data and windless guiding. Startools processed using 2x2 binning to boost S/N and color.
