My first LRGB image - NGC253 - 27.2 hours

This is my first attempt at a LRGB image, captured with my newly acquired SBIG ST10XE. This camera has a NABG KAF3200 sensor, and so after some trial and error, sub times of 5 mins were used to limit blooming. I did capture some shorter 30s subs but could not successfully blend into the 5 min luminance stack (I wasn't too concerned about this as I don't find the blooming to be too distracting in this case).

Capture details:
LRGB = 820:265:255:295 (5min subs)
Telescope = Vixen VC200L with f6.4 reducer
Mount = NEQ6

Processed with PixInsight
