NGC 300 is often considered a member of the Sculptor group, although probably in the foreground and bound gravitationally to NGC 55. Quite a pretty and colourful galaxy this one, with lots of HII regions scattered throughout and groups of young hot blue stars.
It's so close to us (only a mere 6Mly away) that I can't even properly fit her into my c14's fov, so i thought I'd crank the Hyperstar out for the first time in AGES and with the benefit of a string of clear nights in a run (on a new moon), throw some proper hours at it.
So here is the result of 28hrs total integration - miraculously shot all within the same week!! All using the Antila triband RGB filter. A future project will be to shoot at 2670mm fl with the 3nm Ha/oiii dualband and see all those emissions in their full glory!
