NGC 300 LRGB

This is data from Telescope Live's Pro Data Sets of NGC 300. I'm not very good at galaxy processing, so this is a work in process (I'm trying to learn...I just don't do many galaxies)!
NGC 300 is an Sc-type galaxy, similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy, in the constellation Sculptor. It is a member of the Sculptor group of galaxies which is the closest neighboring galaxy cluster to our own Local Group. NGC 300 lies at a distance of 6, 500,000 light-years from Earth and is 94,000 light-years in diameter, making it just slightly smaller than the Milky Way. The spiral arms of NGC 300 contain many massive hot blue giant stars and Ha regions, making NGC 300 a prolific star forming galaxy.
The data consists of 4 B@600s, 4 R@600s, 3 G@600s, and 7 L@600s (not a lot of data but good quality subs). It was imaged with a PlaneWave CDK24/FLI ProLine PL9000. I'd sure like to get my hands on about 12 hours worth of this data!
Anyway, hope ya like my continuing adventure into galaxy processing!
