MarsG76 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hi everyone, This image was captured across two nights, 18 & 19 April 2018, using a Astro modded canon 40D through a 8" SCT at 2032mm focal length. The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, Messier 83 (M83) or NGC 5236 is a barred spiral galaxy 15 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. It is one of the closest and brightest barred spiral galaxies in the sky even visible through a small telescope. The nickname of the Southern Pinwheel comes from its similarity to the Pinwheel Galaxy. Clear Skies, MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
