Description

M83 captured from our backyard in Sydney.

Approximately 3 hours of L and 1.5 hours of R, G & B were captured using an ASi1600mm-pro with matching ZWO LRGB filters. Exposures were all 120 secs at 75 gain, 20 offset and the sensor at -10 degrees celsius.

Tried to process out some of the red to leave it with a "cool blue" aesthetic but every time I tried the galaxy ended up being absent of colour.
