Hi ALL
This shot of ngc253 Sculptor Galaxy was taken 2nights ago the seeing was changing all night and had to put up with the usual light pollution and neighbours lights.
18x4min shots
iso400 taken on cannon 40d cooled camera ,10"newtonion f/4
processed in pixinsight
This edge on spiral is one of the dustiest known,and much of its internal detailis hidden.However two spiral arms composed of bluish clusters of stars can be seen in the outer parts of the galaxy.
Thanks for looking
Alan
