Nice capture. You did well in processing to remove LP gradient (assuming this is what's lighting up the tree). Trees always look surreal in these types of pics. Good image.:thumbsup:

I have always wanted to image that. Your shot is artistic looking! Great.

Hi Stevenc77,

It is a great pict and it just goes to show what you can do with relatively simple equipment (looking at the fov I'd say it was with a camera lens?).

One question, have you pointed us to the right image - I'm seeing only the LMC? THe prominent bar is a dead give-away!

Regards

Glenn

Nice shot. The tree in the foreground adds a nice effect.

Beautiful shot steven - but that's not the LMC, it's the SMC - still very nice regardless!

Hello All

That is definatly the LMC. Regradless you have shot yourself a great image there. The tarantula shows up beautifully as well as S dor by the look.
Fantastic

Nice image Steven. Lots of stars in this image. Guided or not? Single or multiple images?

Very nice.
