NGC253_Sculptor_Galaxy

Hi everyone, this one is the second image from my first light weekend with the new scope. Not sure about the processing on this one, I really struggled with keeping the detail in the galaxy while removing the noise. Tips, pointers and critique are more than welcome. Thanks for looking.

Object: NGC253 Sculptor Galaxy
Location: My house
Camera: Unmodded Canon 1100D Astronomic CLS-CCD clip filter
Scope: Carbon Fibre Skywatcher 8" f/4 astrograph
Exposure: Combination of 45 x 300sec @ ISO800, Darks, Flats, Bias frames
Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS2
