Two-Fitty-Three

No one ever seems to image this galaxy.

Jokes aside, focus is out a bit (SO easy to spot with this darned f/5 system) and I have NOT got Sharpsky installed yet (too damned busy). Just 20 minutes total in 6 nm H-a with the SBIG ST-8XE (running at -21.3°) and the f/5 DED108SS refractor. Issues ALL night, from weird green subs, to clouds, to MaxIM deciding it didn't want to guide (but PHD did, which is usually the other way around)

Slight mis-focus makes the stars look like planets in this system Ah well, Sharpsky should end that issue.

Enjoy. Yes, I know it's NGC253, but count yourself lucky it is not M42
