Sculptor LRGB

Finally managed an image of the Sculptor! Took three attempts. First time clouds rolled in after the Lum channel. Second I got severe Vignetting due to incorrect spacing of my focul reducer. Third attempt is now being posted!

Image details are L20min, R10min, G10min, B10min - through ED80 and DSI III Pro (guided also).

Post processing curves, levels in PS2

Note: I was very inspired by Ken's "Silver Dollar Galaxy" so I decided to keep going until I got an image! The humble ED80 no match for his 18" scope - but still I am happy with it.

Comments welcomed.
