Deep red Schmidt plates (127−04 + RG630) of the galaxy M83 show the presence of extensive faint optical structure well beyond the Holmberg radius of the galaxy. Digital processing has been used to bring these features out in detail. They consist of arc-like structures and clumps of H II regions, which seem to follow the H I distribution and thus are likely to participate in the warping of the H I disk.
