      Description

      The Sculptor Galaxy in L[HaR]GB. It's a large, bright and well-known target. This image is the result of 10.5 hours of LRGB from a dark site and 8 hours of Ha from a light polluted site (where I live). I have attempted to show a bit more of the galaxy halo than is usually seen.
