Description

I thought I'd try re-imaging an old favourite - the Sculptor Galaxy - one of the first targets I ever photographed.

Although the evening was quite clear, it was very windy and the seeing was rather poor at 3.08".

However, I was delighted to see the galaxy emerge during the stacking process, just as I was when I first photographed it almost exactly two years ago.
