M83 (Southern Pinwheel Galaxy)
M83, aka NGC 5236 or Southern Pinwheel Galaxy. Redone from scratch using Astro Pixel Processor for Pre, and post processed using Pixinsight! First time using LRGB broadband workflow for a galaxy image, stretched using Histogram Transformation tool. I tried to keep it as unique as possible, considering Dave did a great job with the same data a few days ago, hope you guys like it! Full details and HD version on Astrobin:
