IC 5358 Sculptor Galaxies

This single image shows 21 galaxies, most around magnitude 17 with a few (IC5358 for example) being brighter - mag 9.1, 12.8 for IC 5353.

I believe there are more galaxies shown in the image which are not labelled in TheSky, they are probably catalogued as PGC galaxies though.

The viewing conditions were average but not as bad as the previous night where there were 45km/hr wind gusts. No wind on this night but very turbulent viewing conditions- stars were blinking on and off t

The viewing conditions were average but not as bad as the previous night where there were 45km/hr wind gusts. No wind on this night but very turbulent viewing conditions- stars were blinking on and off to the naked eye. And the neighbours had their patio lights on which hurt my sky fog limit.

On the very left of the image you might be able to see the arc of light from a nearby bright star - SAO 192167.
