Ngc300

Hi Guys,
I took NGC 300 up at a dark site (Graytown). It was taken with a 120mm ED Doublet (Saxon), I brought of CassTony a while back. Normally I photograph with a C11 on an EQ8, but up at Graytown, I only have a EQ6PRO and consequently limited to a light Refractor. This image shows what can be achieved even by a small Refractor. The galaxy nicely resolves to show stars.
If my wife ever wins tatts lotto, I will get an EQ8 for Graytown, then I can drag up the big guns.

Cheers
Peter
