LMC core - Snake Valley - March 2018
The middle of the Large Magellanic Cloud - This was never going to be an easy target - more of a learning exercise. StarTools has dressed it up a little.
Technical...
~2 hours of 3 minute subs @ iso800. Cooled 0C FL ~255 with a 1.6 crop factor (450D).
Preprocessing in Asterism - Super-bias defect map and flat.
Guiding was a little inconsistent (all fixed now). Would have taken a new set of subs using a different strategy but the weather intervened.
Lots more shorter exposures should produce better stars and detail in the Tarantula.
There are some interesting areas of Green nebulosity, which I presume is OIII - interesting targets with a lot more FL.
