2nd DSO attempt - NGC 2070
Well..the Tarantula Nebula (or at least the core). I wasn't expecting green! I know that unmodded dslr's aren't exactly red sensitive, but I wasn't expecting this much blue/green. No amount of fiddling with the raw images white balance and RGB curves seemed to help. Do I need longer subs?
Anyhoo... under a waxing gibbous moon plus the neighbors floodlight with the nebula at only 25 degrees altitiude, with a slight breeze (and still no wedge), I present NGC 2070, 15 x 30 second subs at ISO400 Canon 40D, 8" SCT @ f/6.3.
