Description

The big and beautiful  NGC300; a large spiral galaxy in Sculptor. It shows the typical features of a spiral with the bright core, blue arm structures, and emission nebulas (pink regions). Although the surface brightness was lower than I was expecting so I decided to commit to two nights of LRGB data acquisition. Plus for good measure, decided to incorporate some H-alpha into the red channel to bring out the nebulas.
