I've not found this galaxy Ngc253 in amongst the submissions so assume this may be the first time. It barely rises enough above the altitude limit so would require a lowering of the altitude limit, if that's allowed. With such a short window of opportunity this job needs to be right. I'm thinking of either 180s or 240s exposures and 4 or 5 hours in total. Please let me know your thoughts on the exposure and integration time.
It is just starting to rise to the current altitude limit of 25°.

As far as I recall Ray, we have said that we will no longer be adjusting limits etc that are in place to try and do specific jobs. Specially when they are below the horizon limits.
The reason for this is because the Pier gets fixated on that one job and spends hours trying to obtain the data for it as it generates many failures when trying to obtain it. - Because essentially we have to try and force it, otherwise the Automation would totally overlook it as an unworthy use of time.
You asked for a job like this previously and what should have took one or two hours took nearly 7x that amount of "capturing time"
However, I could be wrong so hopefully Steve will reply and clear it up.

Phil,
Oops, yes I had forgotten that so thanks for the reminder.I will therefore revise my post.
Since revisiting Telescopius I now realise that It will not be necessary to request lowering of the altitude limit. It will be at or above the 25° limit for close to 2 hours each night over the coming months.
My request for any recommendations on exposure time and total integration time based on existing user knowledge still stands.
Cheers,
Ray
