Tarantula and some surrounds

[avandonk]

Managed to collect some images before the Moon interfered.
Details: Canon 5DH Tal 200k with FR and LPR filter, 8X5min at ISO 1600, stacked with Registar, adjusted the usuals in PS,no GradX as the trial has run out. Should I buy?
I did not push the levels and curves too hard to try and get detail in the brighter parts of the nebula. I am sure it could be done better.

Hi Bert,

There is certainly a lot of detail there. And I like the composition of this one. Quite different than most I have seen (or taken).

I think you are right. You have been very gentle with the stretch. 8x5min should allow you to really show off the nebula. I think you should have another re-stretch and show us the result.

Cheers

I'm with Tony on this Bert. I think you're just teasing us. :lol:

Great image.

The guiding is not as good as it should be wind or slight imbalance which exacerbates any backlash in the DEC axis.
Just added a small one a bit brighter.

Wow I really like the colour in that second one Bert, bu the detail is better in the first. Nice work.

I really like your second try, both of them actually.
