I had a lovely evening under the stars last night and managed to get this image. I’m pretty pleased with it.

NGC 253 The Sculptor galaxy, also known as the silver coin galaxy and/or the silver dollar galaxy.
It is known as a starburst galaxy due to the intense star formation going on within it. It also contains a supermassive black hole at its centre.

SW 150pds
SWHEQ5pro
Canon 1000d
29x120 seconds lights plus darks, flats and bias.
Processed in dss, Pixinsight and gimp.
