Sculptor Galaxy

Hi,

This was done 2 days prior to this post, with basic DSS Stacking this time i was using Darks and Flats although no bias frame. I am still very tired so can only spend little time on each. Still loving it though

20 Lights, 20 Darks, 20 Flats, 180 seconds. Light pollution affects after this amount of time.

Mount is working really well, I can get subs up to 5 mins long with good star shapes.

The image is cut significantly so the resolution is about 1/3 normal. I only have a 480 x 80 scope so was a small target. Not sure if the limiting file size and jpg quality is going to have a major affect on the view. One day i will start posting to a different site with full resolution.

EDIT: notice the satelitte running through the galaxy
