Small & Large Magellanic Cloud

This is one I've just finished processing from Wiruna, last Saturday night. Approx 45x2min in two panels, one centered on NGC104. This was shot with a Pentax 200mm lens fully open and a 2" Baader UV/IR cut. QHY8 guided on G11 with PHD.

There's a bigger one here [2000px wide - 4.7MB] and one smaller one here [1280px wide - 2.1MB].

Boosted the red channel within the cloud a little. Getting there with the processing and using that lens. Always room for improvement but I'm happier with those new shots now. Plenty more to process from the same night.

Added the LMC. Same rig. 26x2min.
There's a bigger one here [3000px wide - 5MB] and one smaller one here [1930px wide - 2.7MB].
