Galaxy Quest continues...

Yep, it's another NGC 253, but I was exited to bag another galaxy after bagging NGC 55 last month, and it's my first crack at this one!

6 x 10 min subs - had to throw away 6 more because the camera collided with the tripod leg while I was sleeping, d'oh!

Captured in Nebulosity, finished in Photoshop.

Comments welcome thanks for looking!

Andy

Nice work, Andy. Shame about losing the other subs.

Nice detail in the galaxy you have there Andy. Your background is a little noisy though. Sorry to hear about the collision, hope everything survived ok. I would be absolutely devastated if that happened to me.

I agree with Rex. Colour and detail are great, and with a bit more data you can get the noise down. Nice work. Nothing as satisfying as nabbing galaxies IMHO.
