Hi guys and girls, just thought I would ask if anyone else had this nomenclature issue. A few weeks ago I took an image of what I belived to be the sculptor galaxy, I aligned the scope and used the tour function to go to what was named the sculptor. After I took the images I processed the image and compaired it to many others. The colour was off and the picture I took looked wierd, I put it down to having a bad night or something. Then today I was looking at pictures of galaxies and I found one that looked like my image, ngc 55.

Turns out that synscans controler points to ngc 55 when you select sculptor galaxy, I was compairing my image to ngc 253 which I commonly see as refered to as Sculptor galaxy. Tonight I am imaging the real sculptor galaxy and I will post both the images later.
