Sculptor Galaxy, first reasonable shot with the new setup

This is about the first decent result from my new set-up, having finally got the autoguider to speak nicely to the mount. But I was sufficiently drunk to not notice the focus being a little off, always something to work on, quite apart from polar alignment, darker skies, collimation and exposure time . A stack of 5 x 4-minute exposures, stacked in DSS, including flats. EOS 60D at ISO 640, Skywatcher 150mm reflector on HEQ5pro, guided with Orion mini autoguider. Processed in Photoshop CS2.

A slightly larger version available here.
