Sculptor Galaxy

Had an opportunity to grab some data on the Sculptor over the weekend. The seeing was fair to average. It involved two sessions over two night and I expect I will grab more data in the coming month.

Data taken with QSI583 WSG
LRGB 120 65 65 65

I think I need to do more on deconvolution and sharpening. Overall I think it is better than my previous images. Guiding is still causing trouble, I need to beef up all my connections and prevent any flexure. The guide scope is 700mm and the main scope is 1625mm. That is bound to cause problems.

Would appreciate constructive criticism and comments.
