NGC253 - The Sculptor Galaxy
Hello everyone!
Last night I set out to image M27 and ended up imaging NGC253 after almost two frustrating hours chasing problems and M27 itself!
In the end I realised NGC253 was emerging from behind the tree so I decided to cut my losses and image it.
Attached is 2 and a half hours of data (30 x 5 minute subs) taken with my QHY8L attached to my 8" newt. All the usual in the imaging train - Baader MPCC and UHC-S, with guiding using a QHY5 attached to an ST80 & PHD.
Stacking in DSS, processing in StarTools and final cosmetics in GIMP.
I had some problems with unusual gradients in the image and I've yet to work out what caused them.
I guess it was just one of those nights....
