[Startrek (Martin)]

Captured the Tarantula Nebula last night for the first time under A1 seeing conditions
8” f5 newt on EQ6-R mount
26 x 4 minute dithered subs
15 x darks
ISO 800
Canon 600D unmodded
PHD2 guiding at 0.88 to 1.20 arc sec error
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools
I planned to capture 40 subs but it descended below a tree at 25 deg before I could finish
Huge star field and a bit overwhelming when you see your first sub but a beautiful Nebula just the same
