  1. But ... the photo of the Tarantula took a lot more time than the time I had the Dwarf3 running on Barnards Loop. So what did I do for the rest of the time?

    My plan was to shoot the Lamba Orionis Nebula, but I entered the coordinates incorrectly, and ended up centered on IC423 - a tiny nebula on the belt of Orion in between Mintaka and Al Nilam.

    As it turns out, this region also contains the recorded but commonly regarded as non-existent NGC1990.

    It also has some very faint bits of other nebulosity that apparently don't have a name.

    So here it is with the colours boosted and the annotations on the other image explaining what all the various bits are and how they can be used in a court... no, wait, that's someone else's story.
