Tarantula

Here's my first shot at the Tarantula.

I took 1h 55m of data and stacked the best 80% in DSS.....so about 1.5 hours worth. Darks, flats, bias all used when stacked. Processed in Startools.

I'm amazed at the number of stars in this field. I actually tried to reduce their prominence during processing because I could hardly see the background.

Overall it is probably a little over exposed but I'm pretty happy with it as a first shot in 'the cloud'
