50 hour exposure, very nice!
I would however dispute that NGC 300 can be seen easily in binoculars. Just how big are they?

There's a little project for someone with a few different pair's of Binoculars,to see what is the smallest pair they can see NGC 300 in:P
I will try my 8x35 and 15x65 Bino's in the next few weeks:thumbsup:
