Last night was cold and clear here with reasonable seeing but the moon was quite brights so I imaged Tarantula Nebula in NB.
I checked the collimation of the 8" RC and set about imaging my target.
I collected 50 minutes of each Ha, OIII and SII. Combined with CCDStack and adjusted in PS CS4. I'm not overly happy with the image as yet and am attempting another few hours tonight.
All subs are 10 minute exposures taken with QHY9 Mono with Baader NB filters.
The image is quite noisy and I am hoping the extra exposure will reduce this noise a little.
The second image is a compile over 2 nights of 10 x 10 minute of each Ha and OIII and 20 X 10 minute of SII with a total exposure of 6hrs and 40 minutes. Hi Res version

The third image is colour mapped Ha red, SII Green and OIII as blue.
Thanks for looking.
