Deep Tarantula 2.5 hours

Hi.
Just a few hours earlier I did my deepest ever astrophoto session.I started doing 15 minute images of the Tarantula Nebula, sky was unusually dark acording to the histogram so I kept going till I got 10 done!
10x15mins ISO 400, UHCS filter MPCC, 10inch f5.6 newtonian, modded 350D. All hand guided albeit while sitting down. Darks, flats offsets, aligning stacking all done in Iris as well as dynamic and colour stretching. Finished off in Photoshop.
