Tarantula 400d ED80

Hi All,

Yes, another image of the Tarantula.

This is a stack of 53 frames over 3 nights, varying in time from 30s to 240s. Levels and curves in Photoshop5. I've tried to push the levels to show the extensive dust clouds and part of the starfield associated with the LMC, without over-exposing the centre.

I feel there should be more red in this image, it seems way too blue-green. Is this because the 400d is not seeing the Ha part of the spectrum? Do I need a modded DSLR? Have I hit the limit for an ED80 and an unmodded DSLR, or am I missing something??

ED80, 400d, 800iso, 53 frames, 30s to 240s, darks, Deep Sky Stacker, levels and curves Photoshop5.

Cheers,

Rob
