How is this?

Hi,
In another thread I bemoaned the severely light polluted area I lived in, and frankly I was just about ready to give up. Instead I thought I'd give it another go and produced the attached image of NGC253. Given the conditions I live under, what do you think of this image? I'm asking for an evaluation of whether you think this is a reasonably worthwhile result. Would it be enough for you to keep going? I'm beyond being able to make a reasonable evaluation myself. Some of the background noise is coming from jpeg reduction. The whole thing could probably with 2-3 times the data.

Details:
Sky had high mist reducing transparency (as usual)
ASI071MC Pro, -10 deg
63x2min exposures, no calibration (camera doesn't need darks)
Esprit 100mm refractor.
Image is a crop from the frame

cheers
Gary
