Tarantula Nebula NGC 2070

Tarantula Nebula NGC 2070
This is only seen in the Southern hemisphere as this is right next to the Large Magellanic Cloud which you can see top most of the photo the white area. Which I will have to wait to get higher in the sky away from the City lights. First night I tried to get this the weather did not help the photos so I had to delete them all and start again. A very busy place in the sky. the white dot on the top side of the photo of the LMC

Its quite a sight when you see it, It is so busy in this area. I have yet to get the LMC again with this set up Some thing I will do. I am not so sure DSLR can not take this I 100% believe it can I just dont have a 900mm scope to go with the Full Frame camera below 420mm lens and 600mm scope both captured with FF Nikon camera.

Orion(M42) & Running Man(NGC1977) - well worth a look full screen on black

Carina NGC3372- Do look at this large

Both DSLR from my home as well. I used CMOS as it gave me a 900mm view out of the 600mm scope. two things important mount and your control over it.

Your deep sky shots just get better and better Steve. As Ko says, quite beyond what we folk pointing our DSLR's to the sky's can ever hope for. As you say too, even if we had the technology we could not find this in our northern sky's. Thanks for sharing.

Take care. Herb

Yes it all about control over your mount by that I mean computer control If I had a 900mm scope i would love to prove it as well. you most certainly will never see thing unless you come down south as this is just about as south as you can get in the sky.
Large Magallenic Cloud

You are looking at the white dot on top of the Large Magnellenic Cloud. Its well worth the change to get these and share. many thanks

I have to say that this is my first time with this target and when I first saw the stacked image as a file we can see it was just about the same as yours.

Hi Steve! It´s really ingeniously gigantic. I could look at it for hours! I hope so much to visit one time the southern half of the earthwith the view to the other side of univers :-)

Best regards and thank you for post the great pictures here !

It is really the busiest I have ever seen. I have found a Running man, A large Mouse head, An Ewok from Star Wars and a Disney cat apart from all the spiders in this area. My first ever photo of this but do not think it will be the last I ever take of it. I think more will show up with more data.

All up to your usual high standard Steve. Stuff on here that we can only dream about and read in the NASA books usually.

Well done. Herb
