Thanks Rick, yes, I'm pretty happy with it. To do better, I really need a longer FL and better image-scale sampling (there is only so much you can drag out of an 80mm refractor and low-rez 'basic' CCD, especially when using them for galaxies!). Still, plenty of time for experimentation.
I have another image of M20 Trifid coming up, using exactly the same setup and about the same integration time. It was captured at the same time (Trifid shots taken in the first hours of the evening, NGC 253 after midnight). But it will take some time to process. After that, I move to my dark sky site and will really start having fun!
