NGC 247 and some friends

From the backyard, this was a difficult target to get a decent guide star so that the galaxy was well framed. In fact, I didn't get close to decent framing, so this image is heavily cropped.

This was taken with the ASI1600MM-C camera, "Unity" setting.
L: 75 x 60sec
R: 75 x 60sec
G: 72 x 60sec
B: 68 x 60sec

60 second images were probably too short, but I was concerned about the LP impact. I probably should go to a lower gain setting for this target.

Again, no flats. I can see I will have to sort this out as I think the dust donuts made this image harder to process overall.

Another version, probably not much better resolution: https://flic.kr/p/LSqHrS

There are 3 other galaxies in the image that I can see, but I haven't been able to work out any identification for them.

Comments, constructive feedback, etc, welcome.
