Hi,
It's been a long while since I last took to DSO imaging but finally after getting my autoguiding setup (somewhat) and the new shed/obsy setup for play I have had a crack at NGC253 over three separate evenings this week.

UVIR CUT (30min ISO 200)60sec subs
Hutech IDAS V3(60min ISO 400/800 split)60sec subs
Ha (first attempt using this filter 30min ISO 1200)90sec subs

It has been a real test getting the newt to stay on target and with the addition of a new extension bar I've been able to get the RA and Dec balanced to cope well enough to maintain consistent guiding although only over shortish exposure times due to the long focal length.

Plenty of trials leading up to composition of my first HaRGB image with the Canon 60D.

Happy to get back to what I really enjoy!
Cheers,
A
