M83, The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy

Even down here in southern Virginia, M83, the southern pinwheel galaxy, only reaches an altitude of 22 degrees so this is a a challenging object to capture.
M83, NGC 5236, the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation borders of Hydra and Centaurus. Nicolas-Louis de Lacaill discovered it on 17 February 1752, at the Cape of Good Hope. Charles Messier added it to his catalogue in March 1781.
At 15 million light-years away, it is one of the closest and brightest barred spiral galaxies in the sky, visible even with binoculars.
