NGC 2070 Tarantula Nebula

NGC 2070 Tarantula Nebula from 8th Jan 2016

It has been so long since I have had the time to use the scope and do some imaging I almost forgot how to do it, so here is an attempt at NGC 2070. It may be only 135 mins of subs but it took me many hours to get everything setup just right and then many more hours to process the image, I am a bit rusty.

Integration time of 135 mins
30 x 3min Subs at iso1600 (Unguided) Darks and Bias added
30 x 1 min Subs at iso1600 (Unguided) Darks and Bias added
30 x 30 sec Subs at iso1600 (Unguided) Darks and Bias added
