I haven’t imaged NGC 253 Sculptor Galaxy for nearly 2 years in Sydney so took advantage of some clear late nights / early mornings just over a week ago.
Starting imaging late as the Galaxy didn’t rise above 30deg until 10.30pm
Captured 200 x 90 sec subs over 2 nights with my trusty little 6” GSO newt ( cost me $200 back in 2017 )

Bortle 7/8 Sydney suburban skies
6” f6 Bintel GSO newt
Skywatcher EQ6-R pro mount
ZWO2600MC cooled to -10C Gain 100
TS GPU Coma Corrector
No filters ( just internal IV IR cut protective window in 2600MC )
200 x 90 sec dithered guided subs ( discarded about 22 subs )
40 x Flats
60 x Bias
PHD2 Multistar guiding ( 0.50 to 0.60 arc sec total )
EQMOD, Stellarium and APT
Stacked in DSS

Processed in Startools V1.8 OSC linear data set

Used the latest version of Startools which has a completely unique Decon module ( SV Decon ) Spatially Variant Deconvolution which does not apply one set level of Decon across the whole image but takes SPF samples you identify across the whole image and applies unique Deconvolution as required for each specific area , very intuitive and the results are excellent compared to the older traditional method
