Caldwell 70, NGC 300 Galaxy in Sculptor
15 minute unguided EAA view

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_300

At a declination of almost -38 degrees, this galaxy is really low in the sky at my latitude. I had a night with good transparency and decided to give this a try as a difficult object. I was surprised to even get a view over a distant tree line. This should be a great galaxy to view in the Southern Hemisphere.

Scope: AT115EDT with reducer/corrector @F/5.6
Camera: ASI2600mc pro 10s subs, -10C, gain 450, hot pixel correction and flats applied
