  We present X-ray properties of NGC 300 point sources, extracted from 66 ksec
of XMM-Newton data taken in 2000 December and 2001 January. A total of 163
sources were detected in the energy range of 0.3-6 kev. We report on the global
properties of the sources detected inside the D25 optical disk, such as the
hardness ratio and X-ray fluxes, and on the properties of their optical
counterparts found in B, V, and R images from the 2.2m MPG/ESO telescope.
Furthermore, we cross-correlate the X-ray sources with SIMBAD, the USNO-A2.0
catalog, and radio catalogues.
