Tarantula Nebula
Lens: DA*300 Camera: K3iii Photo Location: Cowra, Australia ISO: 6400 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F4.5

There's a very bright nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Happily, with the K3iii I was able to stack only 12 images each of 10s at 6400 ISO and still get this much detail!

PS The sky at this location was very dark, which helps a lot (bortle 1).

Nice work Rob. I had a Canon Rebel T2i with me on a trip to Oz and Chile years ago, and got a few Tarantula shots that were nowhere near as nice as what you've done with the K3III.

Thank you! Hopefully I can figure out why the Astrotracer is so ineffective on my camera and then I might be able to photograph it with the DFA 150-450, which should give 50% more detail! I hope you enjoyed your trip to the land of Oz.
