Description

The weather here has been abysmal with very little time to image. Over the last 4 weeks I managed to capture just 12hr 48min on the Tarantula nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. About six hours was lost due to camera rotation after moving the telescope from one site to the other. 
The Tarantula nebula does give us a somewhat unique opportunity to image a nebula region in detail that is located in a different galaxy.
