      Large Magellanic Cloud

      Description lifted from an AI Overview on Google.

      A large satellite galaxy of our Milky Way spreading across the constellations of Mensa and Dorado in the Southern Hemisphere. It is fourth largest in our 'Local Group' of galaxies, and is estimated to span 14,000 light years. The larger galaxies being the Andromeda galaxy, Milky Way and Triangulum galaxy. The data was captured between November 2020 and January 2021 using the Takahashi FSQ106 at Heaven's Mirror Observatory in Australia.

      Foraxx HOO and SHO starless images were initially combined 50:50 , followed by masked Selective Colour Corrections, all processed within PixInsight. As in all my processing I used the Xterminator processes by Russel Croman.

      This dataset is exceptional value for money.
