Description

NGC300 is one of the great galaxies of the southern sky, in the constellation Sculptor. It's a Sc type resembling a lot the Triangulum Galaxy. Its distance is about 7 Million Lightyears only, just about 3 times as far as the Andromeda. Its stars are partly resolved, and partly faint star groups look like noise blotches but they aren't. I did referencing with the great CHART32 pic available on the net: Every suspect speck is resolved there into small stars. I need a bigger telescope! :-)

In the field lots of background galaxies, and even galaxy clusters - check out the annotated version.
