Description

I dont do many galaxies as my focal length (585mm) is too short and few pass above my narrow window of sky.

NGC253 an almost side on spiral is one exception  which is large enough to try for.

For this attempt i acquired 

130 x 45s luminance
180 x 90s of R,G,B (around 60 frames on each channel)
34 x 180s of Ha to pickup emission nebula.

Stacked in APP and then combined and processed in Startools 1.8 which also has a aneat feature to add the Ha as a narrowband accent.

Binned at 2x2 and cropped quite a bit hence the failry small size here.
