Tarantula Nebula

This is from the other night when it was pretty clear. I've reprocessed it a few times to see what I can get from it, but each time it looks worse than the initial integrated image.

All done with PI, through the to drizzle integration, then just a masked stretch and binned back down to this size. The photometric color calibration couldn't plate solve this one so I had a go at it manually, a bit odd because I have other images of the exact same thing from a different night that it can solve and calibrate no problem.

60 x 60sec ISO800
30 x dark and flat, 100 bias.

I'm still relatively new to astrophotography but my experience and what I've seen tells me the Tarantula nebula is a difficult nebula to photograph because the middle bit is prone to overexposure, something I'm not yet skilled enough to compensate for.
