NGC 253 Sculptor Galaxy
Nov 30, 2015 21:27:06 #
This is a rework of the NGC 253 Sculptor Galaxy.
I think I was able to finally get it worked the best I can.
NGC 253 Sculptor Galaxy shot at 300 sec, ISO 800, f/10, 2000mm.
Nikon D800E guided by an Orion Star Shoot, 2 shots had nice round Stars and 3 didn't.
The most reliable distance estimates gives a distance of 11.4 ± 0.7 Mly.

Craig, All I can say is wow, like many others. I can only shoot the moon with my equipment (DSLR and lens), so my shots pale in comparison. Thanks for posting and sharing, I enjoy what you Astro guys do and share. Gary

Nice pix, any idea why a few didn't work out?
Thank you Europa, I think my telescope alignment was not as right on as it should have been.
Or it could have been someone just walking around the setup.
It doesn't take much to disturb a shot at 12 million light yrs.

Thank you very much Gary, this all wouldn't be much fun without your support.
I've seen your shot with the Camera & Lens and they have been excellent work.
Keep shooting and posting.
