Wall to wall stars
The concentrated regions are open clusters in the LMC.
The centered cluster is NGC 2057.
RGB image L synthetic luminance R 50m, G 50m, B 50m ST-X10ME BRC-250.

Gaud, thats a too-many-stars head spin, can you do do a starless on that?.
Lots of depth with not a lot of exposure time right there, the ST10 and BRC250 is a sweet combo, nice work.

Stars, what stars all I see are billions of other suns far away!
Nice and different.

Thanks for the comments.
Looking at the image gives me a headache.
Perhaps a starless version is the way to go.

They are not stars... he's posted a 300s dark frame with the cooling turned off haha!
In all seriousness...
Niiiiice!!
A real eye opener... You know, you hear it a lot, that there is more stars in the universe than there is grains of sand on earth... Never before have I seen an image that makes you say "yep... I would agree with that!"
Great variation in star colour in there too..

I like that orange star.
Sublime, Steven.
The area around the Southern Pleiades is also like this, but, has a higher concentration of red stars.
