Prova, I have just gotten home from a night of visual observing with Eric, and we checked out Sculptor Galaxy at all sorts of EP focal lengths.

We started at 32mm (easy) then the 15mm (still easy) then threw in the 7mm Pentax. In the Pentax the Galaxy took up the whole FOV and was still nice and bright and show amazing detail.

Where Eric is staying for his holiday (about 10 mins from here) is slightly light polluted from Ballarats lights and yet we could still see great detail at 7mm.

Unless you have lots of light pollution you should be able to see it very easily in 30mm - 9mm EP's.
