Default M83 Galaxy close up

This is a mix of some old data and some new data. The old data isn't that good so makes the stars not so good.

5 hours in total of 5min subs.

Awesome -- fantastic detail! And at 5-min subs only! You must have really dark skies where you're shooting from in NZ.

That's lovely. Really like how you've gotten the blue and the dust in the arms. Well done.
