One of my favourites, are you going full NB or HaRGB on this one?

I am going to look forward to your results. Nice to see the proline in action with the CDK. Stars look better to me.

I'd really like to do NB but the filters are on the other scope (first world problems!). So probably HaLRGB.

Thanks Paul. I did spend some time improving collimation. I think its still a tad off or there is some slight tilt.

Great start in H-alpha. Nice composition too: the field of view is perfect.

Nice area there Greg, 16803 certainly is a monster of a sensor! So many gems in the LMC.

Thanks Mike. Yes I think the framing worked out well. The image is cropped a bit too.

It sure is and it makes framing something a lot easier. I have noticed in the last year the number of images of these relatively rarely imaged LMC nebs has really risen. They were quite rare a few years back.

Thanks Steve. The colour data will take more time to accumulate but its promising to be an interesting image.
