Description

I spent a night capturing about 3 hours worth of data on the Sculptor Galaxy last month. It ended up pretty good, despite some of the subs not being centered on the target. Getting decent exposure is challenging for me because the galaxy only rises to about 37 degrees above the horizon, so I have to deal with a lot of atmosphere and light pollution. At this point in the year, it peaks just after sunset, so I doubt I'll be collecting more data before next fall.
