Description

For most of European observers, the austral galaxy NGC 253 is out of imaging limit.

I should consider myself lucky, since in my location the 'imaging window' passes into a range between 20 and 27 degrees on the horizon. The considerable angular size of galaxy, about 25', encouraged me to do a try.

Thanks for looking!
