Dave,
This is an excellent image of NGC 247 with plenty of fine detail exposed, especially the tiny Star groups in the outer spirals
It’s quite a faint target but those hours have done the trick for you
Well done !
That big scope has done it again
I’ve only imaged this once a few years ago with my old 8” metal newt and ended up with a smudge and very little detail
Definitely requires some decent aperture , focal length and integration time.

Cheers
Martin
