Hi all,
I am exploring the Sculptor group of galaxies and NGC-253 is the first image I have finished the post-processing. Actually this is my second attempt on this galaxy; the first one was not that good then I decided to wait for a better condition to redo the job.

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Detail:[/FONT]

• [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']The image:[/FONT] 40 frames of 5 minutes each using ASA 800
• [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Camera:[/FONT] Canon Rebel XT 350 modified (Hutech)
• [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Scope:[/FONT] LX-200 10" Classic on a Meade Super-Wedge
• [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Focus:[/FONT] Off-Axis from Taurus Technologies with a 6.3 focal reducer installed.
• [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Guiding:[/FONT] None
• [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Software:[/FONT] ImagePlus for image capture and image calibration (darks, flats and bias). MaxDL for DDP and initial post-processing. Photoshop CS.2 for post-processing.

I hope you enjoy and thank you for looking.

Fernando.
