Messier 83, the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy

My monochrome rig is in the hospital with a defective filter wheel so I was only able to shoot with my "secondary" rig, the 8" SCT with OSC camera. I figured it might be nice to shoot this target again and combine with data from last year, and I'm pleased with the result. Altogether this is 14 hours 20 minutes of integration (172 5-minute subs), and the presence of an 80% or so moon didn't seem to affect things too much.

I sure love how this came together James! It looks really sweet.

I hope your filter wheel gets sorted out. @Mike Lewis dealt with some filter wheel issues a few years back and it was a pain for him.
