Another NGC 253

Last night I thought I’d have a go NGC 253 galaxy and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Taken with a 106mm f4.8 home built refractor and Canon 305d, unguided on my horse shoe mount.

290 subs, 20 sec each, iso 1600.

I meant to do longer subs but I set my timer wrong.

Thanks for looking
Jo

Thanks a lot guys, I did a repro with some added data from my newt, I think its much better.

Lee, here some pics of my setup, it's pretty rough, I'm in the process of making a tube for the newt.

Cheers
Jo
