Description

Hi all!

Here is the Sculptor galaxy. This picture was taken by two very different 'scopes and sites.

Luminance: C11 at 2000 mm (bin 1x1) from Pollino mountain (2012-09-08)

RGB: Equinox 120ED at 900 mm (bin 2x2) from my heavily light polluted home balcony (2016-10-30).

Merging all together was not an easy task, because of the very different image scales and quality.

Anyway, the result is submitted to your comments and criticism.

Ciao

Lorenzo

Update #1: curves and colours tweaking

Update #2: sharpened a little more...
