Yes the improvements are rather noticeable huh?.. nice to see.

Yeah I know. Just another ngc253. Trouble is that I have had rotten luck with the weather at Wiruna, so I decided to do a nice bright object. Good thing I did. I was also imaging 1360 in the second half of the two nights and with the faint object it was pretty apparent that there was a lot to be desired in terms of transparency, particularly in terms of the blue.

Thanks Rick. You probably have more confidence than I do.

I reckon stars look better too in the recent version

Thanks Suavi. Agree about the stars. I used to hate diffraction spikes when I was imaging with a refractor, but I'm starting to like them quite a bit.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. I always like to see some blue in my galaxy shots--assuming that it is there in the first place.

Thanks Colin. It's often a good idea to look back.
