Description

The Tarantula Nebula, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a H II region also known as "30 Doradus".

Good polar alignment and seeing conditions made this acquisition very enjoyable.

Possibly the last OSC image of a DSO before I take the quantum leap into LRGB/NB imaging.

This was my first attempt to get my head around PixInsight. I struggled with the learning curve and basically fumbled my way through this.

I could not get it to where I felt it could be, but I'm happy enough with it for a first run.

It can only get better from here.
