Another Sculptor

Hi Everyone

Managed to sort out my guiding last night (finally) . I have quadrupled my standard subexposure time to 2 minutes. I'm guiding manually so that's enough for now. At f4 I get a bit of skyglow at that length anyhow. Anyway here is the result:

NGC253 The Sculptor Galaxy:

Processing: ImagesPlus- Dark, Flat and Bias calibration, DDP. ABE- gradient removal, Photoshop CS- levels, curves. Noiseware- noise reduction per channel.

Comments more than welcome.

Cheers
