NGC2070 - Tarantula from SPSP16

Hi all

Here's the last processed image of the ones I captured at SPSP16. This was taken early on the Saturday night, pretty much as soon as it got dark enough that I could start capturing. By the time I'd finished, the LMC was quite low (30deg) so some of the data was a bit affected by the low altitude and poor seeing that night.

It was also captured with Chris Wakeman's modded 350D.
16x 300s exposures @ ISO400. Darks ICNR. Flats calibrated.

Aligned and stacked in ImagesPlus, all other processing in Photoshop.

Nice to have a non-cyan Tarantula.. I still want a modded camera of my very own Thanks to Chris for the loan on the Saturday night!

800px version attached, the 1200px wide version is here:
