After another looong absence from this forum find the time to process a new image. This time the subject is nothing spectacular but still not so commonly imaged:
The Sculptor Dwarf
This is a pretty faint galaxy I imaged some time ago, pretty large but with quite low surface brightness, it turned out not so easy to process as I thought. Not fancy colors or many details, however I am happy to have it in my collection
The Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy that is a satellite of the Milky Way. It was discovered in 1937 by Harlow Shapley using the 24-inch Bruce refractor at Boyden Observatory. The peculiarity of this galaxy is the very low presence of carbon and other heavy elements comparing our Milky Way, making it similar to primitive galaxies seen at the edge of the universe.
