It is World Space Week, so here is my first offering.
This is The Southern Pinwheel galaxy, #C70, #M83, or #NGC5236 . About 15MLy away, this is one of the few spiral galaxies that is face-on to us, giving a beautiful view of the barred spiral form.
This was shot over three nights with my #Dwarf3 in #PerthWA using a couple of different exposures and filter combinations to bring out various details and colours. Postprocessing in Dwarflab's Stellar Studio and #Snapseed to finish.
