NGC 300 is part of the Sculptor group of galaxies. Taken with the AP 305F8 Mak-Cass astrograph at our remote site at Las Campanas Chile. This is a small cropped version. The full frame contains several dozen tiny galaxies, which I will post later.

Pretty cool, this is a galaxy that we don't get to see often.

Excellent!

NGC 300 was on my observing list for last night, but clouds came in soon after NGC 253 crested the eastern horizon so I didn't have a chance.

Nice photo of a nice object! It looks like a slightly smaller version of M33.
