A Spider & Crustacean from Duckadang

Here are two more offerings from Duckadang,

NGC 6357 - The Lobster Nebula

I seem to have only paid for the head of this lobster, whereas Mike paid for the tail as well...

Taken with my usual setup - 15 x 450sec subs on a modded 350D.

NGC 2070 - Tarantula Nebula

This is my first combination image - 450 and 30 sec subs. I also took some 120sec subs, but chickened out at including them too. The image quality is terrible - focus is off and the imaging was done through fog at about 3am. Nonetheless, I'm quite happy with the detail in the core and periphery. I also should have taken the focal reducer out of the system and target this smaller object with a longer focal length.

Comments & criticisms welcome as always,

DT
