Hi

Here is Sculptor from session nearly 2 weeks ago. Not real happy with how it has turned out but it's probably my best on 253 so far. Original files had loads of light gradient and noise for some reason, I've tamed it as best I can.

Details :

10x360 sec @ -18 ... Total 1 hour
SW 254mm F4.7 Newt
SBIG ST2000XCM self guided in CCDOPS
EQ6 Pro
Baader MPCC, Baader UV/IR, IDAS LPS2

Good effort Steve. NGC253 is getting a workout of late. Pleasing to see different renditions of this target in particular the colours. Nice one.
