Description

M83 imaged from Country NSW, Australia under fairly dark skys!
I've been developing my imaging system to reliably image through the night, even while travelling to dark sky locations. I was able to image over two nights without issue from a remote location, the entire setup operates off of 12v battery.

I used a synthetic Lum derived from the colour frames, I've never used LRGB while editing before.

Also visible in the frame to the left of M83 are two background galaxies, PGC 48132 (lower) and PGC 724525 (upper). These are commonly captured but not often identified, so if anyone was wondering what these two are called, there ya go.

I have not used any previous M83 data I have captured
