An excellent start, Greg!

[Slawomir]

The image looks great already, I praticularly liked "inspecting" the full resolution version :thumbsup:

[graham.hobart]

:thumbsup:excellent Greg!

One of my favourites, are you going full NB or HaRGB on this one?

[marc4darkskies]

Looks like the start to a great image Greg! Looking forward to the outcome!

[Paul Haese]

I am going to look forward to your results. Nice to see the proline in action with the CDK. Stars look better to me.

Very sharp shot Greg. Well done. :thumbsup:

[gregbradley]

Thanks Mike. I agree there are tons of interesting objects in the LMC.



Thanks Russ.



Cheers Rick.



Pixel peeping are you Slaw??? hehehe.



Thanks Graham.



I'd really like to do NB but the filters are on the other scope (first world problems!). So probably HaLRGB.





Thanks Paul. I did spend some time improving collimation. I think its still a tad off or there is some slight tilt.


Thanks Marc.

Great start in H-alpha. Nice composition too: the field of view is perfect.

[Atmos]

Nice area there Greg, 16803 certainly is a monster of a sensor! So many gems in the LMC.

[gregbradley]

Thanks Mike. Yes I think the framing worked out well. The image is cropped a bit too.



It sure is and it makes framing something a lot easier. I have noticed in the last year the number of images of these relatively rarely imaged LMC nebs has really risen. They were quite rare a few years back.

[prokyon]

Very nice, it is a pleasure to inspect the full size image!

[gregbradley]

Thanks Steve. The colour data will take more time to accumulate but its promising to be an interesting image.



Thanks very much for your compliment.

Greg.

beauty Greg, nice detail and low noise - looking forward to the completed result.

[gregbradley]

Thanks Ray. I hope to get some more data next new moon.

Cheers Marc. I love this area of the night sky.

Looking very nice already, Greg. Should be very impressive at this image scale when completed.

Cheers,
Rick.

Cheers Steve.
