Tarantula Nebula - Ha

Last night was such a nice night, although the camera sensor was running a bit hot. After my power management issues the night before things worked pretty well all night. I managed 3 hours on the Tarantula Nebula.

18 x 600s ISO 1600 (modded 1200D with 12nm Ha filter)
24 darks
32 flats
superbias of 100 frames
WO Star 71 and HEQ5 Pro

The mount guided at less than 1 arc second RMS all night and I pushed dithering to moderate every frame.
