6 panel mosaic of the LMC

Large Magellanic cloud incorporating the Tarantula Nebula and all the Globules. Despite it being a satellite galaxy it is full of interesting stellar matter. If the Tarantula nebula was in the same region as Orion it would cover a much larger part of the sky it is HUGE.
6 panel mosaic in total with much overlap average of 3 hours per panel of 5 minute subs
Shot with the ZWO asi 294mc Pro
Optolong L-Ultimate filter
Telescope: Askar FRA300 pro
Combined and stacked with Astropixel Processor, processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop
Mosaic organised and acquired in the ZWO asiair and used it with beltmodded Skywatcher Neq6
This has taken 6 weeks to complete due to the weather and work. I'm not 100% happy but will revisit it when I have time.


Would really appreciate some constructive criticism
