Long time ago in a galaxy far far away...there was a spider

Comment by Nicht:
Wow, what a great surprise. I'm so glad my image was well received.

This is NGC 2070, the Tarantula nebula in the LMC, so a truly remarkable thing. It's said that if it were as near to us as the Orion nebula, it would cast a shadow.

In my original comment I had only gotten Oiii data, but we had unexpected clear gaps so I added Ha, but didn't edit my comment.

This was taken with an Svbony SV605MC (Sony IMX533 mono), which is a square crop sensor. The telescope is an Svbony SV503 102mm with the 0.8x focal reducer, at 571.2mm. The filters were 7nm H-alpha and 7nm Oiii. The total imaging time was around 5 hours, but I'm not exactly sure how much I used in integration, but it wasn't much less than 5 hours.

Impressive
Can't wait so learn how many photos, focal length, etc ...

Nice soft look, painting echo, and costume choices, but the composition feels loose and the acoustic guitar isn't doing it for the theme.

Like the concept although it might be a bit stronger if the man was more sharply focused?

Keep at it. You're getting there. It's a tough field to really nail sharp images.
