Description

M83 in RGB
After reprocessing some galaxies recently, I thaought I might have another look at M83.
I had some extra RGB data that I havn´t used before, so it should have been a LRGB with 180 90 90 90 min.
Anayway after adding the luminance I noticed that it does nothing for the image so I kept it as plain RGB.
This brings me to the conclusion that it is really worth considering RGB instead of LRGB and I might swap my filters against a Sloan UGRIZ set as I really like the hues that our usual filters don´t show.
I hope you like it.
Wolfgang
