Its only just making an appearance late at night but thought I would try it anyway and get an early start on it

That's very good from the suburbs. Lots of detail.

Nice colour and resolution! I've always struggled with the colour balance with this galaxy but yours is good

Thanks I know what you mean about the colour I see a lot where it's very green for some reason

Nice one Mark ...funnily enough NGC 253 was the subject of one of my images on my first ever night of LRGB CCD imaging (manually changing filters!) using my 12" Meade SCT in 2003 from suburban Canberra skies.

Yours is much better

Yeah you have to enjoy it and every time I take a pic it amazes me what we can do now from the comfort of your backyard. All the other stuff I've already got lol Although I am eyeing of a bigger mount to pile everything on together

That's quite a good 'early start' Mark. Detail and colour are both good.
Look forward to more.
