Another Sculptor

HI all, found the data from last years attempt so decided to try to combine last years with the recent data. The reducer flattener was used last year and this year I removed it so the scale is different as was the aspect. Nebulosity 4 was able to combine them with little effort. Processed in Star Tools and then tweaked in PS cc2015.

Looks great Bruce. How come you removed the flattener/reducer?

Hi Cam,
just to get a larger image. My Megrez in its native focal length is wide enough and the reducer makes galaxies even smaller. So it was taken out to get a larger image. I think it may be best to leave it in place to ensure nice star shapes and such.
Looks like a need a nice fast newtonian for the smaller objects I desire. My buddy Mel has a Bintel f4 he can lend me but the tube rotator he has it housed in is just as heavy as the OT and thus a bit too much for my HeQ5 to cope with - OK I also need an Neq6 - anyone want to part with one cheaply???
