Tarantula and LMC
Captured still climbing through the murk of city lights, here is an hour's worth of 4 minute subs of the Tarantula Nebula and LMC. Processing this was a real challenge. There's almost no usable colour information in this picture - I seriously thought about presenting it as a black and white. Still, I'm very happy with the detail, though it's been heavily JPEG'd here by the ISS forums software.
AT65EDQ scope, Nikon D5100 at ISO 800 with Hutech IDAS P2 LPF on HEQ5 Pro mounting. Bias and flat corrected in DSS. Post processed in Adobe Photoshop.
