[FOOTPRINT]

Hi All,
For comparison, Pix taken with the ED80 then the Lx200-10" at F10 of Galaxy ngc253 (on successive nights), both have there good points, Im always amaized at the results from the ED80/300D combination, its a might little scope.

Both Pix- 6 x 6 Exp. at ISO800 DF removed, guided, The Ed80 Pix is cropped, and both Pix are only 30% of the original size and JPGd (original too big to post at 16 Mb.TIFF)

This is a fantastic object, and at Mag.9 one of the brighter Galaxies, looking forward to seeing lots of other Pix. of it from others.

P.S.- Just had a look at the Forum, and I see that my last Post of this Item went ahead ( I had deleted it as the wrong Pix were posted, but it seems to have stayed there, No idea why) so herewith with correct pictures...J.W.
cheers.................Jim
