Description

With all the changes to Pixinsight's WBPP and John Murphy's NSG script, I decided to manually calibrate some data I had from Telescope Live to see if it made a difference.  So this is what I came up with.
M 83, also known as The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is located in the constellation Hydra, at a distance, from Earth, of 15,000,000 light-years. This galaxy is one of the brightest spiral galaxies, shining at a magnitude of 7.5 and contains thousands of star clusters, hundreds of supernova remnants, and a huge number of star forming emission nebulae, and very prominent dust lanes. 
This image is over 15 hours of total exposure time of LRGB subs @ 300s and 600s. 
Hope ya like it!
