Description

My second attempt at Sculptor Galaxy. Only 2 clear nights before the clouds came in, I was hoping for another 10 or 12  hours but it wasn't to happen. Using 450s subs as a compromise between short subs that blow out the processing time and longer subs that compromise the tracking. Gain 2750 to decrease the read noise. Dark rural site with Bortle 2 sky.
