Description

I doubt I will ever take my imaging gear into the Southern Hemisphere so I thought I would try processing some data from a hosting site. This is from a Pro Data Set from Telescope Live out of El Sauce Observatory in Chile. This is the first time I processed data from a hosting site and I had mix feeling about doing it. The data proved to be more challenging to process than I thought. The Oiii was extremely bright and I had to use HDRMT on the synthetic luminance and ArcSinH stretch on the color data to keep the bright Oiii regions from getting blown out. Although taken with a fast large telescope the integration time was relatively low only four exposures per channel. I used my usual tone mapping that I use for SHO processing. StarNet++ was heavily used. There is a lot of nice detail if you zoom in. This is a very active star forming region in the LMC. To me it is interesting to be able to image something like this and with detail in another galaxy.
