Sculptor Galaxy - 1hr RGB

[kind scroll]

Forgot Sculptor rose high enough to get some time on it, and so I did just that before my my main proj target rose. Only used RGB because L was soft weirdly But color had just as much signal from the looks of it.

Thanks man! Would have been slightly cut off I think

I hate the fixed aspect ratio of forums, and forums in general lol. Old deep_space_pics was goated.

Oh ok yeah fair enough lol, same honestly, i really do miss the old way, odv it was worse for clutter, but just nicer in general to scroll and look around

[kind scroll]

Yup, less clicking around too

Nice photo there! As a suggestion; Have you tried to add some Ha? Pixinsight have a great simple video on it if you get time.
