NGC 253 in mono

Hi all,

Being a narrowband junkie, I thought of trying to learn a bit more about LRGB imaging, and picked quite popular and bright NGC 253.

So far got only 12 hours of Lum (15-minute subs), acquired over 4 nights with high humidity and passing clouds. I hope in a few days we will get two clear nights allowing for RGB data collection.

A 105 mm scope may perhaps be considered as not the most suitable instrument for galaxy imaging, but we must image with what we have and learn to get the most our of it. I can feel a slowly but surely increasing aperture fever though...

Thank you for looking.
