NGC 2018, also known as the Chalice Nebula, resides within a star-forming complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This dataset comprises 8.83 hours of integration time collected between December 2025 and April 2026. The acquisition consists of 106 frames captured through an Antlia ALP-T filter, each with a 300-second exposure. Imaging was performed using a Sky-Watcher 200PDS telescope paired with a ZWO ASI585MC Air camera, mounted on a Sky-Watcher EQ6 Pro. The data is available as a free download under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license, permitting copying, modification and redistribution for non-commercial purposes. This collection offers researchers and astrophotographers access to calibrated raw frames of an active stellar nursery in our nearest galactic neighbor.
