NGC 2070 - the Tarantula Nebula - 4th October 2012

Hi All,

Another test of the cooler box for the DSLR, on a school night too!

For some reason, it was mid summer for half a day, so the ambient was way over 25 degrees, so this was captured at 13 degrees C.

A total of 88 mins of exposure (26 x 3 mins @ ISO 400, 5 x 2mins @ ISO 800). 13 darks used.

I quite like the small cluster at 8 o'clock position too, I think its NGC2100?

Captured with Backyard EOS and processed in Photoshop CS3 and Startools. A bit noisy because the temperature was high and hard to get the colours right but its not a bad start. Hope you like it,

Any tips and comments are welcome.

Cheers

Chris
