Last week I had the chance to setup while the moon was in first quarter.
While it was still up I drift aligned and got things ready so I could image The Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) in the LMC.
Imaged through the TOA 130 at f/5.8 using both the Canon 20Da and 20D set at ISO 400, 18 x 7 min exp, 18 darks and 15 flats using the EL panel flat box, total exposure was just over 2 hours.
Guided using the Orion ShortTube 80, Orion StarShoot autoguider and PHD on an EM400 mount.
Processed using DSS and Photoshop CS3.
Image is around 1.2MB.
Thanks for taking the time to look.
