NGC 2077, Emission Nebula glowing in a SHO palette within the Dorado Constellation

NGC 2077 is an emission nebula within the Dorado Constellation in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the region of NGC 2070, the more famous Tarantula Nebula.

Like many of the objects in the Southern Hemisphere, there are not many references or much detail on this object in on-line search results.

This is a Telescope Live data set, Narrow Band SHO from the CHIL1 telescope in Chile. The telescope is a Planewave CDK24, imaged with their new QHY CCD QHY600M full frame CMOS astrocamera binned 2x2. It was acquired during the first half of February 2023, the date shown for the acquistion data is a single date for the last date of imaging, for convenience.

This is not a deep data set as of yet, only around 6 hrs of integration time. I'm sure they will be adding to it as there has been additional data added in the last month for two other CMOS objects imaged from the CHIL1 telescope.

The nebula is located in a dense star field. I tried to strike a balance in pulling back the stars to enhance the nebula vs. giving up the beauty of the star field itself.

Let me know if you know of a source of additional data on this object; Google has not been kind to me today.

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.
