Sculptor Galaxy

I managed to get a clear night last Thurs night and got an image of the Sculptor Galaxy.

Only 2.5 hours but the Tak BRC is F5 and it packs in a lot of light pretty quickly which makes it ideal in weather that is biased towards showers and cloud.
.
FLI Microline 8300 at -40C (brrrrr) and Astronomik 50mm square filters in a FLI filter wheel.

I tested my Microline to see how cold it would go and it does 56.7C below ambient temperature.

LRGB 60 30 30 30.
