M 83 - Galaxy

[jsmoraes]

Sometimes to do  a galaxy is a good idea. It was near my clusters ...

GSO 305 mm - Canon T3 - 26 x 150  min (65 min) - ISO 800 - OAG - skyglow filter - Coma corrector 

And with scale around 0.63"/px - (must be seen in full size mode)

Very nice image. Some lovely detail captured.

Stock color Canon isn't the best camera to galaxy and nebula. We can not use filter to capture some areas. The bayer matrix with 2 times G than R and B cause some lose of details. I use filter wheel with Skyglow, UHC and Halfa. Sometimes I try nebulae and galaxies with them. UHC has better performance than Halfa. I must do much time of espositon to get some result with Halfa. Usually I use those captures to enhance the red and blue channel. I must  spend a whole night (or nights !) with only one target. Too much frames !
