Ngc55 -HaRGB not finished

[John Hothersall]

SPX350 F4.53, ATK-16HR, Astrodon filters.

Did not finish this one from Winter as I need luminance and will have to finish this next year but its closeness at 7 mil lyrs away allows close detail to be seen. Strange off centre nucleus make this Sculptor galaxy quite striking and is interacting with ngc300, unfortunately it does not quite fit my small sensor.

RGB-6x5min each
Ha-10x10min.

Regards, John.

Thanks for the comments, yes the Southern galaxies are an eyeopener as I though the South just had nebula and globs - can't wait for next Winter for more galaxies.

John.
