Ngc253 mega data!

A whopping 40 seconds luminence!

Impressive eh.

Set up so perfectly tonight - was getting 7 minute unguided test images with NIL trailing (Vixen GPD2 mount, Vixen DED108SS f/5 scope, SBIG ST-8XE). Was all set to do some Horsehead and the clouds come rolling in off the ocean. Not even any sucker holes any more - solid 8/8th's cloud.

253 was not even my target tonight... I had to capture SOMETHING before the blanket of cloud. The system told me I had last fired it up 20 days ago - the weather has been that great up here.

Anyway, enjoy... maybe there's a jet or 10 in there, and yes Mike, I counted 6749 house lights and 2391 street lights within a 23km radius of me ;P
