It was a clear night even though the Moon was bright, so I decided to do a HDR (High Dynamic Range) image of Tarantula (NGC 2070) The image consists of 6 frames stacked in 'EasyHDR'. The frames consist of: 1 x 15 minutes (the longest exposure I have ever taken)1 x 5 minutes 1 x 2 minutes 1 x 30 seconds 1 x 10 seconds Once stacked in HDR the image was taken to PhotoShop for Colour Noise reduction. Canon 450d, CLS filter, 200mm f5 Newtonian, EQ6 mount. Guiding in PHD2.

I tracked down the exact star that was Supernova 1987a I remember seeing it, and it was spectacular. That tiny star became as bright as Jupiter for about 3 months

1987 was before my interest in astronomy. It would have been great to see. The Chinese reported seeing the supernova that is now the Crab Nebula during the day for 3 weeks. That would have been spectacular. Go Eta Carina...you can do it cheers Paul

I have animated Supernova 1987a using my own Image and one from the internet when 1987a was at its brightest. Click on Animation
