Hi Guys I took a look at the old data I had of NGC253 and had a bit of a play. 12 hours worth to be exact but found the end result to be less than pleasing. To start with it was shot at so many angles that after stacking I was left with an image which which needed to be trimmed to almost only the galaxy. Along with this problem a lot of the data was taken without any calibration files whatso ever and really became an exercise in dimminished returns. The noise level along with the need to crop, crop, crop left me feeling quite sad for the poor image. So No big long shot of Sculpter this time. Maybe next year.
