Sculptor Galaxy NGC 253 more data

I have added another hour and a half of 183mc data to the sculptor galaxy to give 15x5 and 24x3 minute exposures at 100gain.

Incremental improvement but interesting to get more data with an IR filter and Ecos on a small scope mounted computer. All worked surprisingly well.

Every bit helps Ray.

Another 10 hours to go :-)

I managed 80 minutes on NGC300 last night, just before the Moon rose.

Thanks Peter. Another ten hours indeed.

Probably could have left it running with a cover on and gone to bed to get a few more hours now I don’t need to leave a laptop out there.

Thanks for the encouragement John .
