Ngc 247

Hi all
After a long hiatus caused by awful weather, finally a clear dark sky.
Heres NGC 247, and what appears to be asteroid 2000 TP68 hust to left of galaxy centre.
Image is 7x10 mins ISO200. UV/Ir filter, modded 350D, 10 inch f5.6 scope, off axis hand guided. Sky in Newcastle was actually dark enough to see the SMC naked eye. Quickly processed before I head off to bed.
Cheers
Scott

Hand guided is so cool. I remember doing this and I have the most respect for people giving this a go.
