Large Magellanic Cloud
A combination of the original AUS-2 CCD Bundle (TL3 I think) and a later 58-hour AUS-2 CCD LRGB + Hα dataset.
The main processing was performed in Astro Pixel Processor (APP), with final adjustments in PixInsight. Thanks to the excellent signal quality, no noise reduction was applied, preserving the natural texture of the rich stellar fields.
