SILVER COIN - SCULPTOR - NGC253 Galaxy

Took this 2 nights ago when I did my over nighter run. Just managed to take some time tonight to process it. I was pleased with the colours from this galaxy during the early morning hours right before the sun rise. 16 x 84 second exposure stacked in registax. darks auto-subtracted.

You guys getting sick of me yet?

comments welcome.

Good one Eric,

Thats in my opinion, is the best Southern galaxy after the Magellanic clouds.

You may need to try it diagonally to get it all on the chip.

Eric, Eric, Eric....I am bewildered....your prodigious output is overwhelming...but very welcome with your daily/hourly posting of these wonderful images.

Great job and keep 'em coming, mate. I just can’t figure out how you do all this stuff, and so well.

Cheers

many thanks Dennis. I'm honored that you like them will try to produce as many as possible but also depends on Melb weather which has been terrible lately

nice accurate colours there, the cores of galaxies are usually yellow due to the high population of older yellow stars.
