Sculptor Dwarf with 300mm flourite lens

Hi all
Finally got to do some imaging, this time I went for a very faint object, the Sculptor Dwarf galaxy, which is almost just an oversized globular. I was amazed to see some resolving of its brighter stars, making it look like a large but faint globular. Also amazed to be able to capture it at all from the light polluted skies of Newcastle.
12x5 mins ISO400. LPS filter, Modded 350D, 300mm f2.8 lens from Bert.

This could be a target for one of Strongmanmike's all night/multinight imaging sessions
