Quick NGC 2070

Hi,

Have spend the past couple of imaging sessions trying to tame my OAG, CC spacing, tilt and exposure length. here's a quick 1 hour total of Tarantula. I shortened the subs to 2 mins which seems to have eliminated a lot of background opaqueness I was getting from longer subs, although when I turned to HH later 2 mins was too much (facing more suburbia). I really need to get a light pollution filter.

Anyway, fairly happy with this, I definitely have less tilt / wonky stars so need to be more careful with getting the OAG stalk at the right length.

I couldn't get the flats to register properly so i'll try a reprocess later. I can probably squeeze a bit more out of the neb. that core is hard to tame! I may have gone overboard on the high pass too.
