Description

The Sculptor Galaxy was low in the sky and quickly went into my tree line, but I managed a quick (11 minute) exposure with my Esprit 80 f5 and ZWO ASI533MC Pro camera on my SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro mount.   This is a galaxy I'd never tried to image in the past and only recent found it using night vision equipment the day before this exposure was made.
