NGC253 Spiral Galaxy in Sculptor,
It is often said that if this galaxy sat higher for Northern Hemisphere observers that it would rival The Great Andromeda Galaxy. I believe it would, but even though it sits low on the horizon, it can still be seen with the smallest telescopes and Binoculars shining at about magnitude 7 in the Constellation of Sculptor. photo details are on the image......... Enjoy!

That's a beautiful picture! Thanks for sharing it with us. It gives me another nudge to get my own good telescope and a CCD. Thank you!
