Large Magellanic Cloud

The crazy Melbourne weather continues, limiting astro opportunities These are the only two images that I have managed to obtain in the last two months - LMC in both HaRGB and narrowband Hubble palette.

Samyang 135mm, ZWO ASI 2600MM, ZWO filter wheel, Astronomic MaxFR and Deep-Sky filters, iOptron GEM45. 9hrs H-alpha, 5hrs S, 8 hrs O, 2 hours each for RGB.

I have also included a starless version of the narrowband data which I think I might like the most!

Hi Jon,
I really like that.
Who needs a telescope when a telephoto lens
can produce such beautiful wide field pictures?
Of course - it's coupled with an expensive mono camera.
I look forward to more of your pictures.


cheers
Allan

That’s a wonderful shot. I love the level of detail in the narrowband data. Just marvellous!

thanks everyone.

Yes - always a tough choice whether to go narrowband. It always 'seems' like it is taking a lot longer to generate an image - which is a pain when you have so few windows of good weather - but it really does cut through the light pollution beautifully.
