Sculptor 01-07-08

Hi

Here is Sculptor from session nearly 2 weeks ago. Not real happy with how it has turned out but it's probably my best on 253 so far. Original files had loads of light gradient and noise for some reason, I've tamed it as best I can.

Details :

10x360 sec @ -18 ... Total 1 hour
SW 254mm F4.7 Newt
SBIG ST2000XCM self guided in CCDOPS
EQ6 Pro
Baader MPCC, Baader UV/IR, IDAS LPS2

:thumbsup:

Good effort Steve. NGC253 is getting a workout of late. Pleasing to see different renditions of this target in particular the colours. Nice one.:thumbsup:

Thanks Jase .... I intend to nail this target a lot better in the coming weeks !

Thanks Matt, Ric and Paul .... glad you all like it .... I'm going to do better on this object when we get some decent skies again here in the west ;).
