LMC in infrared

[multiweb]

This one is about 45x10min that I captured over 3 nights from home with an IR filter/QHY9 and a 100mm lens in 10min subs. I Did a IR - IR/LUM - LUM blend with an old color shot I had with a 200mm lens from last year. Greyscaled it then did the palette.

I've got the full field here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/LMC_ir_fff.jpg)in higher res. [2.9MB]
More stars than nebulosity. You still can make up the tarantula on the center top of the field.

Thanks for looking. :thumbsup:

That is Awesome Marc!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Just looking at the large version, a stunning amount of detail!
Never realised there is so much away from the main body of LMC.

Cheers,

Justin.

A nice wide field of view. Odd look with the blue nebula but I gather that is the IR view.

Thanks Justin. :thumbsup: Yeah it goes on for ever.

Thanks Paul. :thumbsup: Most of the nebulosity is cut of at 750nm and over so you're left with stars and a lot of open clusters.

Yeah not much choice with the moon up. :) And this one is just above the M5/M7 intersection on my South horizon. I can't even get it in Ha these days.

Hmm that's interesting - thanks for sharing, Marc. I see that you've captured NGC 1763 near the bottom corner too :)

Yes, that's your nebula right there. :thumbsup:
