Just in from ESO, fabulous image of NGC 300

Lots of H2 regions and clusters

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

Regards, Rob.

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

I will try my 8x35 and 15x65 Bino's in the next few weeks
