I know what it is...but this isn't your usual view smile . I was testing out my new FLI PDF focuser last night, and it works like a champ, although it's HUGE 8O . Since it was full moon, I decided to shoot Hydrogen-alpha...and had to wait until nearly morning for the interesting nebulae of the milky way to rise...but that gave me time to train the temperature compensation :S .

So...who wins on the first right guess? Your prize is...personal pride wink .

Looks like the Tarantula Nebula in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
