He he, enjoyed the post as much as the image

Great looking NGC 300 there guys, well done .

Being so large on the sky, at a mere 6 million light years, its great to be able to peer so deeply into a nearby galaxy like this and yes, the background fuzzies compliment the near/far scene

As far as seeing individual stars in NGC 300, and to some extent NGC 247 et al, goes, I have also often thought, is that real stellar resolution or just "cluster" resolution..?..not sure? I am sure there a some big blue giants visible over 6million light years..?

The colour is of course a debatable thing, I think your product is probably closer to the natural mark but upping the blue does make it rather attractive too
