NGC 2070 Tarantula Reprocess Sydney
The weather over the past 3 or 4 weeks in Sydney has been very poor for AP so starting to get a little frustrated ( quite a few nights start out clear for an hour then cloud rolls in until 3am then clear again by 6am , oh well that summer )
Looking back on some images I captured in October/ November I decided to reprocess NGC 2070 Tarantula to see if could squeeze a bit more out the data
