Description

NGC 253 is a spiral starburst galaxy , largest in our neighbouring Sculptor Group .

Challenge was to make a photo of this galaxy due to it's low altitude above horizon (lower than 20 degrees). Exposures were made during two consecutive nights in order to use the short time of highest altitudes. RGB filters were used, each 6X600s.
