Description

The Large Magellanic Cloud contains one of the largest star formation regions in our local group. This corner of the cloud contains dozens of ionized gas bubbles, glowing softly from the radiation from the stars within. Of course, the immensely bright Tarantula Nebula steals the show but personally the most interesting details are the small ripples, bubbles and star clusters littered throughout the image -- impossible to properly present in a single image.

It's been a while since my last image, but now I'm working again gathering new data and processing the backlog of data I already have
