Sculptor Galaxy NGC253 (My first Galaxy)

Welcome to my first ever Galaxy pic.
Captured last weekend at the Snake Valley Astro Camp, here is "The Sculptor Galaxy", also known as the Silver Coin or Silver Dollar Galaxy (NGC 253).

28x300sec Subs plus Darks & Flats. Using an SBig 8300C Camera cooled to -15deg, Skywatcher Esprit 120ED Super APO Scope on a NEQ6 Mount, Driven by SGP, and guided by PHD2. Stacked in DSS and processed in StarTools. With lots of help...thanks Al

I'm very happy with the result especially considering this was the first time I've used this camera and the first time out with Sequence Generator Pro (SGP) software. I'm also on a pretty steep learning curve with processing pics too.
