Description

This image of the  Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) is composed of 6.6 hours of exposures over 5 sessions.  The challenge for me in capturing this data is that the target is only available for a short time between my roofline and the neighbors from my backyard, and there is a bright streetlight  I need to dodge in the same direction from my backyard. It is a great target for my 8" Meade LX200 ACF OTA, as a face on barred spiral galaxy.
