Description

NGC 7020 is the brighter area of the incredible Tarantula Nebula star forming region of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
One of the thing I love about this image is that it is RGB with Ha and no Lum.  This is probably as close the the natural color as one can get, and I think that luminosity would just make the star field harder to process.
I processed the Ha and RGB starless images after BXT and NXT then combined 100% RGB starless with 40% Ha starless then added back the .9 of the RGB stars.
