Adventures in Polar Imaging Round 2 - Sculptor Galaxy

Hi all,
Here is attempt #2 using the new wegde - alignment was not too bad (fewer beers required). Its NGC 253. These are my first attempts at 1 min subs. I am pretty happy even with the big gradiant so now I have to learn how to build some kind of light box!

Details:
Imaged with DSI Pro II on LX200R 8" @ f3.3
L 10x 1.5 min
RGB 8x 1 min
Astronomik Filters
Autoguided on ED80 with DSI Pro
Post in CS3 and I did use Gradient Exterminator but just could not get rid of all the gradiant.

I have to say that even with so-so polar alignment the autoguider has way less work to do than in Alt\Az.

Happy to take critique.
