New name for that Galaxy, 'The Invisible Galaxy'.

Just need to start extending my astroimaging repertoire a bit. Having a long history of technical problems limiting my attempts and to finally get a system working reasonably well I need to find new targets and challenges. Looks like this is one of them.

With Auckland's LP, the weather and my limited sky options sometimes the choices I have are restricted. Sculptor is getting too low in my west already, the sky is still quite light till well after 9pm. The south eastern options are no good, LP. I have to wait till they get over the SCP into the south western sky to do anything there. I struggle with anything higher than Mag 8. Sculptor and Sombrero have been my staple due to mag and orientation giving me best results.

Patience required, other brighter targets will be back over the year. I can wait.
