Tarantula Wider shot.

I was suggested my target I had chosen was good one but at astro fest no one is going to hang around to see a 10min shot. So I went for the area next the Star bank in the Large Magellanic cloud ( blueish area to the left.) .

The other advantage in live stacking the colour chip in this camera shows up when stacked. I tested out the sequence before I went live at astrofest. Its looking like this year is only indoors Saturday is Rain and total cloud cover. Oh well I got to learn a little more about Nina and the shot gets seen even though its not live.

Part of doing the sequence the photos get saved in the stack from my trial night and the night at astrofest would only add to the stack but a better looking photo from all the combined shots.

The PIPS show closer detail from the QHY183 of the same area.

It is an area that there is so much in it I really think I should do a panorama of whole area. Many thanks.

As you can see the weekend was not a good one Saturday rain and clouds it was good I had a look at it first to know if it would be suitable.
