Nice one.

That one is a degree lower than NGC 5068. Just enough to put the bottom of my aperture below the observatory wall. While I didn't mention it 5068 was below the wall for the RGB data but not the luminance, another reason I saved that for nearest the meridian. I can't reach the meridian this low due to my "Meridian Tree" the lakeshore rules won't allow me to cut down or trim in any way. Being that extra degree down I've not put it on my to-do list though your image shows it well worth the effort if I ever get seeing that low. Too far west to do now as that low I can't work west of the meridian as there are other trees that low that partly block things (pine needles make for nasty diffraction spikes) and the scope would be 50% blocked by the observatory wall once it cleared those trees.
