There are a few bright Southern Galaxies. M83 is one, NGC1365 is another and the Sculptor NGC 253 is one of the brightest.

This is now over 3 hours and I'll be adding more when I have a chance.

As good as it gets. Your processing is superb. (Plus it's great to see these southern gems for us northerners.)

Does it have a bright core that is partially obscured by the dust?
