Description

The Sculptor Galaxy, was my primary target for that weekend. Took images over two nights, but lost 17 of the images to poor quality. First night, after passing the meridian, I had some anomaly happen which caused guiding to get stuck dithering during imaging (?) wrecking 5 images hilariously. Second night, focus/collimation wasn't as good, as such the images were very poor quality in comparison, and thus rejected from integration.

Final result was from 9 guided, 5minute images at ISO-1600, with no flat calibration as I forgot to take flats before rotating the camera post meridian flip.

This makes my last image done from this 'holiday', now all I need is more nights off of work, and less clouds.
