Did you have any focal reducers or anything else in line? If I can work out how to do it, I'll chuck it through TheSky and try to plate solve the photo, I think I can work out the image scale (450D and 100ED right?).
Hi Stuart

The EXIF data from a copy that Chris e-mailed to me shows 9 secs at 1600 ASA.
Here is a screen print from The Sky giving a FOV of approx 83’ x 55’ centred on NGC253 (not my image!)

Cheers
