Widefield NGC253 with 8" Schmit newt

This was the only image I got from Rons place with my new travel set up.

I have not posted it yet as I have not been real happy with the result but I am not convinced of the collimation and should have done a star test like I said I was going to.

Anyway here it is.

10 x 700 second exposures ISO400.
NO cooling as humidity was at 90%
No Flats or Darks....clouds come so we gave up.

Scope 8" Schmit newt F4
Camera: Canon 350D with Baader MPCC and LPR filter
Mount: EQ6 autoguided
Guide scope: ED80

I think I can improve a lot on this image having cooling ON and processed properly.
Not posting full rez as its nothing special.
