Description

Tarantula Nebula and part of the Large Magellanic cloud.
This was an image fraught in frustration as my temperamental Eq3 mount refused to play nicely, ending up in lost time for acquisition.
This is a 2 panel mosaic using the FRA 300 the ASI 294mc pro and that bastard eq3 mount. (i'm still tweaking it to get it to work)
Only  1.5 hours per panel of 300 second acquisitions so three hours for both panels after throwing out the ones ruined by that mount!
Optolong L-Ultimate
Processed in Astropixel processor, Pixinsght and Photoshop
it is a work in progress still a huge project.
