The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)

Hi All,

This is my latest image, after quite a few months of getting deep subs on clear dark nights. Probably the hardest thing I've ever tried to process, the background stuff is literally only a few ADU above the noise floor. I really didn't know where to start but I'm happy with where it has ended up. The main disc bulge of the LMC is pretty cool but really annoying, I pulled what I could out of it; almost deep enough to start revealing dust lanes. There are nebulas EVERYWHERE!

Captured January - April 2016.
