Large Magellanic Cloud - Mosaic

Link: https://www.astrophotocologne.de/portfolio/large_magellanic_cloud_mosaic/

The Large Magellanic Cloud lies in the constellations of Mensa and Doradus. It is an SBm-type galaxy and the fourth largest galaxy in the Local Group. It shows signs of an irregular galaxy as well as those of a barred spiral galaxy. Even with relatively small telescopes, gas nebulae and numerous star clusters can be resolved in the GMC. This twofold mosaic consists of LRGB-filtered images as well as images in the light of ionized hydrogen and oxygen.
In the lower part of the image you can clearly see the bar of the galaxy and above it the impressive nebula region 30 Doradus with the Tarantula Nebula. This object is also known as GEHR, which means Giant Extragalactic H-II Region.
In the upper part, the second mosaic panel, there is a conspicuous, large star cloud. Around it there are again numerous gas nebulae and star clusters.
The image was taken during a period of eight nights in August of 2022.
here you only see 25% of the full resolution. To see at least 50% please visit my homepage.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
