The Tarantula Nebula is the largest and most violent star forming region known in the whole Local Group of galaxies. Intense radiation, stellar winds and supernova shocks energize the nebula glow and shape the spidery filaments. If only 1,270 light years way away like the Orion Nebula, NGC 2070 would take up around 30 degrees of the sky, and this field would cover almost half of the sky.
This is a reprocess from LRGB and HOO versions, with SII data now added.
Having lots of fun with Narrowband processing.
Warm regards and Happy New Year to all!
