Description

Reminds me of neon Jellies at the aquarium :-)

This has been a bit of a "filler" target for me while imaging objects around scorpio which are dropping too low for me by 2am... i've been grabbing a few hours over multiple nights as this region rises in the east. It's on the outskirts of the Large Magellenic cloud near the Tarantula nebula.

It's really low in the light dome over Brisbane city so some pretty nasty gradients despite using narrowband here... quite a bit of detail lost trying to correct for this. I'm stacking in APP and processing as SHO in Startools and having to bin at 50% (thanks ASI2600 for lots of pixels) for some extra signal to noise and some failry aggressive "wipe" module to smooth these gradients.

I'll try this area again when it get's higher up later in the year and maybe some focus areas with my larger scope.
