Description

It was a fascinating exercise to compare an image of an area of the Tarantula Nebula taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 2011, with the detail from my recent image.
The GIF animation is a Blink comparison between my image and that of the HST. Revision B shows the area of my original image (rotated 90 degrees clockwise) which the HST captured. 
Note that the colours in mine are closer to those that the human eye would see, as the HST used Blue, Violet and IR filters for their image.
