Description

NGC 2070, the Tarantula Nebula in the LMC. The image consists of: 40x3min HA, 48x3min Oiii, and 60x3min Sii subs. Captured with the ASI1600MM-C, using Baader narrowband filters. Processed in DSS and Photoshop CC. Telescope is a TS Photoline 115mm APO reduced to F5.5. Mount is the CGX, guided by Metaguide.

Note this image should have some shorts exposure subs taken to permit layering in the core to avoid the over-exposure, I will try to get to that in the near future.
