Description

This image was obtained during my Tasmania trip. It was taken in my friend's backyard on 26th Dec 2016 in Hobart. The sky considition was pretty unstable that night but I managed to obtain ~1hr of data before I left the country. Southern Hemisphere was new to me and polar alignment would be painful using the polar-scope. So I brought a Polemaster with me for this trip.

The integration time of light frames was 180sec x 20 ~1hr (with 20 dark frames and no flat frames). As the LMC was facing south where the Hobart city was. Light pollution was a huge concern so I used the Optolong 2" L-Pro filter.
