thanks for the comments folks! This was done late last night till early morning...yawns.

The image above consisted of subexposures totalling a little over 1.5 hours in luminance. Yes, it is definitely an interesting galaxy away from the usual nebulae, but it is hard to find galaxies (bright enough) to image in the south from where i am. NGC253 is one prime candidate. Would be enthusaistic about getting colour data sets soon!

i have uploaded the picture in the main site. My apologies for those who could not see the first one. Geocities certainly does have a thin bottleneck bandwidth access.

Here it is again:

I have also uploaded the latest images onto the site as well.
