Took the opportunity last night to do some testing of some new features in my software and while my DSLR and Canon 300mm L lense was aimed in the same direction as Tarantula riding piggyback on top of the Tak I thought it a waist of photons if I did not image with the SBIG at the same time. Because of the moon I decided to image though an Astrodon 6nm Ha filter.
I was very pleased with the outcome so decided to add in some color from an image I took of the Tarantula through the same scope earlier in the year.

Its a very quickand dirty processing job and a little noisy still but I am pleased with the detail. Its a stack of 23 x 3 minute exposures through an SBIG ST-2000XM.
The widefield of this area through the DSLR is still being processed. I will post it shortly.
Best Regards
