Tarantula Nebula

Hi all

I shot this up at the Blue Mountains last night and wanted to share It with you all.
Shot through a ZS 110/.8 reducer with a SXV-H9C and guided with the ZS 66SD on a G11 mount.
I did plan on a copule of hours on this but the clouds had other ideas and only managed 4 minutes x 10 total exposure time.
AA3 was used for Capture,align & combine and CS2 for post processing and I hope you all enjoy one of a Southern treasures.

Those clouds always have a different agenda! Nice shot!!

Nice Image Louie, The wide field is anice view.

Louie,

This is a fantastic object, and you captured and rendered it well! Looking at the central cluster within the nebulosity (the twin-lobed area - is that Eta Carinae?) - I'm seeing a big ol' bug face, proboscis and all! See it?
