NGC 55, A Sculptor Galaxy

Hi Guys

This is taken from 100 km out of Sydney, so darker skies

It was my last image of the night and I think the mount had settled into the dirt a bit and so the tracking wasnt as good resulting in eggy stars. Slightly cropped.

6 by 600 sec subs, darks plus flats, UV/IR block
TV85, TV 0.8 reducer on EQ6, self guided with SBIG 2000 XCM
Levels and Curves PS2, Sum combine in Maxim, Neat Image
Reduced to 1200 pixels, 60 % compression.

Thanks for looking, any comments appreciated.
