We finally had a good clear night which unfortunately deteriorated as the night went on, but it was good enough to grab some images. So I went crazy and grabbed 2 frames of NGC 253 at 20 minute single frames!!! WOW, that's the longest I have ever imaged anything Anyway, here's the 2 x 20minute frames stacked in Sequator: (Canon 450d, 200mm f/5 Reflector, CLS filter)

I need to learn to guide. The images are so good. I have the gear to do it, but just keep procrastinating. I keep telling myself that if there were people around the scope observing ,they would get bored waiting for an image.....but there are never any people around . There is just me with my trusty glass of red. cheers Paul
