Howdy
Back on early morning sept 23rd I shot the Tarantula Neb in the LMC, 3x20 mins ISO 400, 10 inch Newtonian uv/ir, UHC-S and MPCC.
Initially I wasnt happy with the first efforts processing (sky seemed rather bright) so did it again using colour stretching in IRIS and also masking techniques in Photoshop, to try and get most of the dynamic range in. The colour stretching is useful, bringing out the green oxgen glow along the red hydrogen emission. This is what Ive been able to come up with. Im sure 1/2 the effort is at the PC rather then the telescope nowdays with digital imaging.
Hand off axis guided as usual.
