The Large Magellanic Cloud: A Galactic Neighbor in Focus
To get this level of detail, I utilized a Sony A7R V paired with a 135mm f/1.8 GM lens. The tracking was handled by a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi, which allowed for precise, un-trailed 60-second exposures. I gathered about 2 hours of total data at ISO 800. The processing workflow involved stacking in DeepSkyStacker followed by extensive work in PixInsight to balance the background and pull out the subtle micro-contrast in the star fields without overexposing the brighter clusters.
