Large Magellanic Cloud
Most of the processing was performed in Astro Pixel Processor, including calibration, integration and LRGB/Ha combination. Final refinements were made in PixInsight. The excellent signal-to-noise ratio of this 58-hour dataset made it possible to avoid noise reduction altogether, preserving the image's natural fine structure.
