30 Doradus with ASI120MM

Having a bit of fun with the ASI120MM. More than just a guide/planetary camera.
This is The Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus) is an H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It was originally thought to be a star, but in 1751 Nicolas Louis de Lacaille recognised its nebular nature.
ASI120MM, GSO 8" F/4 Newtonian. 100 x 5sec + 75 x 4sec subs.

EDIT: Just noticed that there is some major Jpeg compression artifacts on this image.
