LMC attempt
Hi all,
Here is my attempt at the LMC theme. Over a couple of nights I've been aiming at NGC 2048 because with the FOV on my scope that gives me a frame that includes the tarantula nebula, adjacent nebulosities and a portion of the LMC. I tried ISO800 at 90s and then ISO400 at 120s because it's so bright and my camera is so noisy. It was really difficult to bring out colour and in the end I integrated all subs (30x each) to get this result. Overprocessed I think because the stars are a bit purple.
The closeup of Tarantula is just a separate crop of the main image (separately processed). Looking at other examples on the internet I think I could have done better. All criticism welcome, especially from any PixInsight wizards.
