LMC- a beginners take

Phisci (Ryan) · #1 13-01-2017, 02:35 AM

Took this from a reasonably dark sky site about 1.5 hours outside of Johannesburg. Samsung nx500 with 135mm Rokinon F2; 2min exp, single image. Processed (more like fiddled with...) in Nebulosity (stacked and a few stretches) and Pixinsight (used DBE tool to remove gradient).

Any pointers most welcome.

Great detail and colour Ryan, but I don't like the off-centre framing.

Looks nice Ryan, maybe a tad too green and better centring could help to reveal the LMC in her full glory

Ryan,one of the most attractive galaxy images that I have ever seen(to me) would have to be the LMC .

A great effort here, with attention needing to be payed to your framing.....composition is king!

Thanks guys, definitely want to acquire more data and have better framing
