Description

After getting another pass at M83 in Chile I decided to get as much detail as I could and selected only the best subframes of the 46 hours of raw data that I ended up with. I believe all of the 19+ hours of subframes had a FWHM of less than 2.

I decided to go with a more natural palette and tried to pull out the fine details of the dust lanes and the various satellite nebulosity on the very edges of the structure. I was also happy to have picked up the faint tidal tail that seems to be the remnant of something dismantled by the galaxy in the distant past.

Included a tigher crop as well for perusing the nooks and crannies of this beautiful object.
