Description

This is a work in progress.  Would like to add some more time to this, if we get some clear skies.  I first imaged M83 last year and it was a poor effort, although salvaged by support from [email][email protected][/email].  Upgrading to the ASI071MC this year definitely helped by doubling the resolution to 0.7 arcseconds per pixel compared to 0.36 for the ASI183MC when paired with the RC6 (which was never a good combination).   Much happier with this year's effort, although more time will produce a better image I hope.
