Description

Processed from three sets of one-click data from Telescope Live. Filling the very long run of cloudy nights experienced here in Lincolnshire.NGC 300 is one of our closest galaxies at a mere 6.5 million light years. It is estimated to be just under half the size of the Milky Way, but his fabulous galaxy was a new one to me. Surprisingly, a search of Astrobin for NGC 300 brought up few images of this galaxy.
