30 minutes of NGC253

Hey all,

First image in a while for me. First it was weather stopping me, then mechanical / guiding problems, then 4 weeks overseas. Now I'm back and the cloud god(s) still hate me.

Still having technical issues, so hoping for some clear nights to try and get to the bottom of them...

30 minutes of NGC253, the barred spiral galaxy in Sculptor for your critiquing pleasure.

Cheers,
V
