Geeday everyone,
here's an image I did recently of the Tarantula Nebula in Dorados. Notice the large number of fainter red stars (some possibly infra-red) dominating the upper right side of the image. These are stars of the LMC galaxy.
It's 6 x 4 minute exposures @ ISO-200 with the modified Canon 300D on the 12-inch f/5 GSO telescope using the Baader Coma Corrector. Image is handguided with 4.5" guidescope. Images are dark-subtracted, flat fielded, offset adjusted with IRIS. Processing in PS.
