Hello Space Enthusiasts!

This is the Tarantula nebula in Ha and Oiii. This nebula is so massive and bright, that if it were as close as the Orion nebula it would cover half the sky and would be so bright that it could cast shadows. Anyways, this is 11h and 25mins of data, and is the first panel of a 3 panel mosaic of the Large Magellanic cloud. I plan on getting at least another 5-6 hours on this panel and then move to the other panels. Right now I just wanted to see what data I captured and didn't worry about too much (I will save the energy for the final mosaic). I am quite pleased even with the aggressive stretching to tease out fainter regions! Any questions or queries just shoot them my way! I hope you enjoy this image as much as I have enjoyed imaging it.
