Description

Inspired by Andy Campbell’s recent image of the Tarantula Nebula region (https://www.astrobin.com/ppgdfl/C/?nc=collection&nce=3940), I decided to see what could be accomplished in one tenth the exposure time, 2.8 vs 28 hours, which is fiscally more palatable to those of us without our own observatory, who rent telescope time.  Here is a starless version of the Tarantula and the nebular filaments that encircle it in an HST palette.  Enjoy.
