First go at the Tarantula

This is my first attempt at the Tarantula (NGC2070).

Image was taken using an unmodded 350d and C8 SCT. Autoguided using PHD and an 80mm achro + webcam. 30 x 2min subs and then stacked in DSS. Post processing in PS.

I recently purchased a 2" camera adaptor to reduce vignetting and it seemed to work as I didn't need to crop too much of the image during processing.

Wow this is a tricky nebula to process. Not too sure about the colour balance , but I would welcome any comments.
