Default Astro: NGC 253 - ngc 253-lrgb-09rewk.jpg (0/1)

NGC 253 - Silver Dollar galaxy
Sculptor
Penryn, California
November 2008
FS-128 (ag, ST-4)
ST-2000XM LRGB 5 minute subs

NGC 253 is a bright starburst galaxy classified Sc,. Redshift
distance is13Mly

This galaxy is very close to my local horizon giving me slightly more
than 70 minutes of imaging time. The above image was acquired over
four nights each characterized by high humidity and some low ground
fog . the weather plus the light dome that is Sacramento caused
significant gradients and elevated sky glow. I have avoided imaging
this galaxy thinking it was too low but Thanks to Angel Rosario whom
successfully imaged it using my equipment I gave it a try.
