They have been rare of late but last night was clear so the telescope was out. This time it was The Sculptor Galaxy - around 12 million light years away but visible from the back yard. It is full of star forming gas and has a number of satellite galaxies around it (not visible here) similar to the local group of galaxies around our Milky Way.
