M83 The Southern Pinwheel

I'm still trying to get my autoguiding under control. However here's an attempt from last night. I was only able to get 7 good images from 15 takes (2 mins each). But still happy with the results.

from Wikipedia:
Pierre Mechain discovered M83 in 1752 at the Cape of Good Hope.^[6] Charles Messier added it to his catalogue of nebulous objects (now known as the Messier Catalogue) in March 1781.^[6]
On 16 June 2008 NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer project reported finding large numbers of new stars in the outer reaches of the galaxy. It had hitherto been thought that these areas lacked the materials necessary for star formation.^[7]
