That's one beautiful galaxy mate. Great pic/ great focus and tracking.
What's a 14' riding on ? a PMX?

Wow plenty of sharp detail in the dusty core and the natural looking star colours your processing is working well.
Clear skies Ken.

Hi Enrique,
That's a top image - you had the image scale to really do this target justice.
It's the best NGC 253 this season.

very nice , love the result the small galaxies surrounding this are a treat

[naskies (Dave)]

Wow, that's stunning Enrique! Amazing core detail, and a great 3D effect to boot.

What I want to know is how you got so much resolution squeezed in, in under 200kb!!
That's a cracker of a shot.

That is awesome, there's so much detail in there it's crazy. And that too from your backyard.

[ourkind (Carlos)]

Beautiful picture Enrique. Detail all the way down to the core. It's often blown out in many of the pics of this object. Colours are good.

It is riding on the original RCX400 fork mount. The guiding is improved by a Starlight Xpress Active Optic unit.
