30 minutes of data and you can get that much signal.
Wait till you collect 20 hours the results will be outstanding
Scientists say that if this were in our galaxy it would cover half the sky as it is enormous!
Thanks Nik,
It’s definitely a spectacular nebula whether you go deep or wide field
With the weather at the moment I’d have to wait 2 years to get 20hrs
I reckon 4 to 6hrs with the 2600MC , my new Antlia Duoband filter , good seeing and the new 10” CF Newt will expose plenty.
Yeh your right it’s located in the LMC next to our MW Galaxy at only around 160,000 light years away

Cheers
Martin
