Tarantula nebula

[RAC]

This is the first shot real(ish) with my CGE mount. Its only a quick on as the moon was on its way up. I did't have a LP filter in and the camera wasn't cooled. The stars are alot better than the old mount and i've alway had problems guiding in this part of the sky. Its also the first time i've used the PixInsight HDR composition tool.

6x5min subs + 6 darks + 6x1min for core @ ISO1600.

Modded 1000D

GSO 8in f6 reflector.

CGE mount.

Baader MPCC.

Stacked in DSS and processed in PI.

Beautiful image - a lot of layers with the stars/gas clouds, with a few globs thrown in.

Thanks guys. As soon as these clouds go away i'll start putting some real effort in.
