Description

A quick capture 2 hours of Luminance data on M83 (while we have no moon).

Started on RGB after that but soon gave it away as the fog came in - man was the dew heavy last night. Hopefully I can get an hour each of RGB tonight, and then if conditions are OK will add another hour of luminance data.

Skywatcher 8 inch/f5 / ASI1600mm-Pro / 24 x 5 minutes (2 hours exposure): Bin 1x1, Temp -10C, Unity gain (139). Phillip Island, Victoria.
