First try at the Sculptor Galaxy I took a few weeks ago out at a dark site. The atmosphere out there was terrible at the time but i am still pretty happy with the final result.
57 minutes of light frames with 10 minutes of darks.
30 second exposures.
Neat result Nick , Is that a bit of coma in the top right corner or collimation error?
Thanks Joshua. I honestly think there is quite a bit of both at play there in the image. I really do need to collimate my scope as i have not done it in over six months! Also, I am about to buy a coma corrector because i am sick of my stars looking like that at the edge of the FOV! Hopefully the next one will look better!

Good idea on both counts Nick, otherwise a respectable 253 there
