Ngc 2014

Hi Folks

Happy to attach this link to NGC 2014, NGC 2035 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. In fact there are another 7 NGC objects in the image. Atmospheric turbulence once again played havoc with seeing so resolution is not as good as I would like however there some interesting objects in this image.

The image is here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60931085/NGC%202014%20131127CDK%207-16s.jpg

Scope - Plane Wave CDK-700
Filters - Astrodon Gen 2
Camera - FLI PL-16803
OAG with Lodestar
9 Hours total exposure, LRGB & Ha all with 10 minute subs

ESO recently released an image of NGC 2035 and of course it is clearer than mine, but I think I have done alright.

ESO image is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60931085/LargeMagellanicCloud.jpg

Staggering in sooooooo many ways

Nice work! At that image scale you'd need fantastic seeing for optimal results.

To those that commented and those that just enjoyed.... thanks.
Rick's comments regarding seeing are certainly true and seeing is giving me lots of pain. I badly need a mountain...

Thanks

Colin
