Default Ngc 253

Hi all,

A few images taken during a recent trip back home "down under". All images taken with a 300mm f/6 newtonian + SBIG ST-9XE.

1) One of my favourite deep-sky objects, NGC 253. It was comfortably visible to the naked eye under 7.8+ skies. 10 x 3 minute images.

2) NGC 247 10 x 3 minute images.

3) NGC 300 10 x 3 minute images.

4) NGC 2070 The Tarantula Nebula. One of the showpieces of the sky. 20 x 2 minute images.

5) NGC 4945 Not very well known to northern observers, this is a fine galaxy for small telescopes. 10 x 3 minute images.

6) NGC 6872 A cluster of galaxies in Pavo including some interacting galaxies. The HST returned a spectacular image of some of these galaxies. 10 x 3 minute images.

Enjoy,

Hi Iceman,

I am from the west coast, just north of Perth.

Cheers
