Last night I thought I would try to cure a few issues with my guiding (eventually did so, but thats another story) and in between the gusts of wind we have been having here in Brisbane along with 80% full moon, I thought that I would have a go at NGC253. I was on able to get 23 x 1 min shots which were not wind affected and thus gave a somewhat poor stack for the image. I was surprised that compared to the attached Hubble shot I was able to get hints of the dark gas streaming out of this galaxy. I'll have to go longer, deeper and sharper with the DSI to do this galaxy justice but its given me encouragement. Sorry about the Jpeg artifacts but thats life too.
