LMC @ Astrofest
I collected just over 3hrs of data for this one. Still, I'd like to add to it. A work in progress I guess. But this is how it looks so far. I've cropped out a little coma and rotation.

PS. The background gradient is the Brissie skyglow.

great shot JJJ. I ran the jpeg through pixinsight and used dynamic background extraction to redo the image minus the gradient. hope you approve

I had a go as well, I hope you don't mind also. Its a beaut shot. Gradient Xterminator 2X and levels and curves, shadow/highlights, color balance,reduce star size 2x, increase star colour.
I wonder how many hours it would take with a telescope to show the whole LMC like that. It looks like an apple and is almost round. Most images only show 2/3rds of it. Fantastic.
Hey first time I got an attachment in a post, always wondered how others did that!
Greg.

Jeanette,
Great stuff. I want to do a widefield just like that.
Might just do that next time I'm out.

Very nice Jeanette. Looks like a lot of wide field images will be done with a camera and lens from now on.
Well done and a lovely image to share, Thanks.
