Description

This image was captured over several nights in May 2023 with an ASI2600mm Pro through a Celestron 8" EdgeHD on a EQ6-R Pro.

The image comprises:

L:    221 x 60s
R:    67 x 60s
G:    67 x 60s
B:    67 x 60s
Ha:  26 x 180s

Total integration time was eight hours and twenty minutes. The image was processed in Pixinsight and tweaked in Photoshop.

This was my first attempt at M83. It appears fairly low on the horizon, making it a challenging target. But I was pleased with the resulting image.
