Description

M83 from Snake Valley last night. My first real go at a galaxy with the RC8.

Still some collimation issues to sort, but delighted with the result! Just 50mins Lum & 20mins per R,G & B

I took this between 2 -4:30am when the clouds finally cleared (after waaaaay to many whiskeys I might add, lol)

Hoping to add more data to this tmrw night.
