Description

This is the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) and part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. This stack of 50 x30 second captures was taken from Iluka, Western Australia on 28 January 2022. The ASI 183 was paired with the Redcat 51 - unity gain and 5'C.

The original image had an excessive green cast around the nebula - more than I think truly reflects its true likeness due to Oxygen. This was preventing me from stretching the image to pull more nebulosity. Carlos Taylor helped me to resolve this and I think the revised version  now properly shows this region of the sky in its true beauty.
