May 22nd 2016.

Southern Pinwheel Galaxy. NGC 5236 or Messier 83.

This is a barred spiral galaxy that lies some 15 million light years from Earth.
It is found in the constellation Hydra and is one of the closest and brightest barred spiral galaxies in the night skies.

I used  124 light frames at 30 seconds exposure each.
30 dark frames.
30 flat frames.
30 bias frames.

All these were stacked in DSS and post processed in Star tools.

Scope used is my Skywatcher 102 and camera is a Canon 1200D.





I also did a crop of the galaxy.
