2nd Attempt at the Tarantula Nebula

While I was waiting for Saturn to rise, I decided to have another go at the Tarantula Nebula.

I set up the capture software and everything looked sweet!

No clouds... no wind, what else could I ask for? Before I could look through the finder a heap of scattered cloud was heading my way.

I quickly set up the DMK on Tarantula Nebula and started imaging before they had a chance to get any closer.

Details:

Celstron 8SE SCT f/10 - 2000mm
DMK 21AU04.AS
Processed with R4

1st Image:

5 x 4 second exposures
Gain = 100%

2nd Image:

1 x 30 second exposure
Gain = 100%

As you can see in the 30 second exposure hot pixels are evident.
