Huge effort too !
NGC 300 is such a faint almost translucent galaxy , the spirals are quite broad and sparse compared to M83 and Pavo etc..however you’ve managed to pull out some really good detail with that monster rig.
That Triband filter has also surprisingly picked up distinct RGB colour as well which is difficult under our LP.
Well done and would love to see a longer focal length version for sure.

Thanks Martin - It has a bright core but as you say those spiral arms are really faint. I wasn't sure how far they extended but knew with the c14 @ f1.9 and enough hours I can go super deep. How good is it when you can spend some real time on a project!!
I found the triband RGB really helpful to cut down some of the LP and provide a bit more contrast - especially with this setup. They are marketed to provide better colour balance but I found there is a significant red bias - I used SPCC in Pixinsight to fix that and the end result I thin is quite good.
