Description

Having just received the ASIAIR Pro and setting everything up and also with a very clear and dark night, took the opportunity to capture a few objects over a long night of imaging - this was the last but thought would give it a go. Inspite of the small amount of exposure time in total, able to capture the essentials of the galaxy. Looking forward to spend more time on what looks to be a very interesting galaxy.

Southern Pinwheel Galaxy/M83/NGC 5236, is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 15 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra.
