Description

This one was a real fun project.
When I posted the 30Doradus image 3 weeks ago I got asked if sn1987a is on my data outside of the cropped field.
It wasnt there, so I just pointed my 24" in Namibia at the Tarantula to see if anything of it is visible.
It definitely is, as a small red dot but the biggest surprise was the Honeycomb nebula Snr that is very close to it.

The image is a rather small crop edge the edge of my fov and a bit of a dog to process.
Anyway to me one of the most exciting objects I came across for a while.
Hope you find it interresting.
Wolfgang
