Clouds of stars, rich clusters and wisps of pinkish emission nebula are scattered across the field, looking towards the heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
I took the frames for this a while ago in good conditions, but erred in not checking my scope and many frames were badly out of focus :ashamed:. I rescued the best of the frames (17/72) and stacked them anyway - while it's far from the sharpest image I've taken, still a nice scene of an area imaged a little less often.
A larger view is worth a look here (http://www.pbase.com/andycasely/image/163200205), much more detail than the one compressed for IIS.
A larger view of the inset around NGC1910 is here (http://www.pbase.com/andycasely/image/163200206)
17 x 5 minutes, ISO800, EOS 60D, darks, flats and bias subtracted. 200mm f/5 Newtonian on HEQ5 pro mount, OAG & StarShoot Autoguider. Stacked and processed in PixInsight and Photoshop.
