M83

M83, Southern Pinwheel, or the Thousand Rubies galaxy is a distant galaxy that is 15 Million LY away and it is nearly impossible to shoot from the Northern Hemisphere, but I did the impossible, and I shot it from Egypt with my good old DSLR. This is the result of about 3 weeks of shooting and 3 nights of processing.
