NGC 300

Recommended Posts

This is the latest in my exploration of low surface brightness galaxies. While it is listed as mag 9, it is big, so there are large zones of very low signal. Shooting conditions were fair: SQL 21.5, but there was some bushfire smoke in the air, so seeing was approx 3.5 arcsec.

 

NGC 300 lies between us and the Sculptor Group - it is only 6Mly away. In spite of its size (19 X 13 arcmin) it is not a popular target.

 

ASA10N at f/3.6; G2-8300 camera; DDM60 unguided; Astrodon filter set; total exposure 4hours 50 min.
