Another top shot. On the larger resolution, the 2 small Globs near Tuc 47 are starting to show individual stars, great work.

You have brought out the emission nebs/colors really well...don`t now how you did it but really adds to the whole effect.
Well done....now we have to wait for the LMC one
cheers Gary

Cheers Gary. I used a clipping mask to bring out the nebs. On the original image posted, the mask was way too strong. This version gives a more natural appearance. The only other thing that helped bring out the subtle details is exposure time. 11.5 hours provided rich data, so it could really be stretched hard exhibiting minimal noise. I think this paid off in the long run. An LMC mosaic... Its on the list, but don't believe it will be one of the summer targets for this year. I have however already planned the LMC mosaic - I can do it with approximately six FSQ/STL11 frames.

Thank you all for your kind words and appreciating the effort I put into this image.
