NGC 253 from BSG

BSG started with wonderful skies but as usual with imaging everything that can go wrong saves itself for a star party then does.
My horror run started with some real connection issues and eventually turned out to be 2 of 3 USB cables faulty. Thanks Marc your lead got me going until I could get a new set of USB leads. Next, was just an odd series of events which have yet to be sorted although I think it is a G11 battery problem.

I ended up with 11 X 10 min Luminance images of which guider errors caused by the battery problem changing the mount to visual mode all by itself left me with just 6 usable subs.
RGB was similar with 10 X 10 minute of each colour but only 5 ended up usable.

The final image was very hard to get something usable and has taken hours to get this far. My appologies for the image before you look at this and others from me at BSG this year.
