Sculptor Galaxy

Hi All,

I got my first shot I'm actually proud of last night. I gave the sculptor galaxy NGC253 a go, not expecting too much since the half moon was lighting things up, but I had nothing to lose... The attached picture is the result of 60 x 1min, 30 x 2min, 30 x 30sec and 15 x 3min subs, all shot with the NexStar 8SE on the CGEM mount, Canon 300D, all dark subtracted, stacked in Nebulosity 3 and levels & colours adjusted in PS.

Guided with NexGuide... I must have been spot on polar aligned too... All subs were round stars, and all in the same place in the frame.

I dare say this is my best image to date, couldn't believe the detail on it, anyway, had to share.
