That's a terrific shot. I remember seeing this in my 17.5" 30 years ago and I noted in my notes that it showed mottling across its surface. Now I can see why I saw that.

Yes I agree, always good when you can see stuff in the eyepiece that also appears in photos, even if only in B&W  I recall using a goto 24" F3.3 (?) for a few hours at SPSP a couple of years ago and with most objects I could see much of what showed up in images I had taken of each object over the years with a 6" or 12" scope but just in B&W.

Really, REALLY enjoyed this one Mike. Agree NGC300 can be a bit bland looking in normal LRGB. The Ha and OIII have really added punch, without looking like the makeup has been overdone

Cheers Rob, actually I don't mind the overdone make up look when NB data is added to a galaxy image, after all it is purposely done to "enhance" something that is real about the galaxy and there is something kinda cool about being able to clearly recognise the star forming regions within another galaxy

Wonderfully enjoyable image to look at Mike. One can get lost in there.
I'm shooting it for the first time tonight through your finderscope.

Just great, Mike. This can be observed for hours finding ever new objects. You have tried to identify them with the catalogs of the NED and SIMBAD? Reference Photo!

No I haven't done any catalogue confirmation Fabiomax but as you say might be a worthwhile activity?

In the pictures of this level is always interesting to try something ... maybe you find something unexpected!

Nice, Sculptor is well placed for evening viewing at the moment

Cheers Terry, the contrast between the big galaxy and all the little distant background galaxies is quite strong in this field.

Well that sure looks different! I like the normal wishy-washy look of this galaxy, but your approach has given a new perspective on the structure and is visually hi-impact as well. very interesting and impressive result.
