NGC 253 Silver Coin galaxy.

[Lester]

Hi all, this is one of the best galaxies visible from the southern hemisphere, it was straight overhead when I captured it this morning.

This image is from 7 x 4 minute exposures with 40D camera at ISO 800 and Astrograph.

That's a pretty object - out of my reach but thanks for showing what we're missing up north!
