A bright moon dominated the night sky on the evening of Nov 2nd, 2014.  I used it as a focusing target before starting to shoot DSO’s.  The image came out good enough to post here.

Another NGC 253

I just had to visit my old friend, NGC 253, just to see how it was doing.  A bright moon and only a short window of possible imaging time did not let me get much data, but at least I got to see it again.
