The Southern Triangulum Galaxy - NGC300

[MarsG76]

Hello astronomers,

I'm sharing with you my latest complete image of NGC300, aka The "Southern Triangulum" Galaxy.

It is located in the constellation "Sculptor". Known as the "Southern Triangulum" because resembles the galaxy M33 within the constellation "Triangulum" which is not visible from the far southern hemisphere latitudes.

NGC300 is located approximately 6.3 million LY away.

This image was captured across multiple nights between 28 September and 24 October 2019 for a total exposure time of 51 hours, using my full spectrum modded and cooled Canon 40D DSLR connected to my Celestron 8" SCT at 2032mm focal length.

 

Clear skies,

MG

Ooh, lots of lovely big HII regions there, wonder what's been stirring it up?

Nice photo. Had some great views of this back in the summer when I was in Mozambique.  All the galaxies in Sculptor are superb to look at..
