This is a real eye catching DSO that you have captured so well. Limelight normally reserved for the Tarantula but you have introduced a beauty seemingly overlooked!
Inspiring, well done.

beautifully done Greg, the ones off the beaten track are often the most interesting.

Beautiful image of an interesting object Greg. I’ll be putting it on my to-do list.

That's right the Tarantula normally gets the attention as its so amazing but there are several very interesting nebs nearby. A few others have been done quite well but this one is not so often imaged I suppose because its rather small.

[QUOTE=Joshua Bunn;1401230]beautifully done Greg, the ones off the beaten track are often the most interesting.

Cheers Josh. Yes the odd ones that are not often imaged. What is amazing is there are so many of them really.

Thanks Geoff. I am sure you can do an excellent version with your setup.

Greg.

Where in the LMC can it be found ? I'll give it a try.

Looks like a mini version of the Simeis 147 or the 'Spaghetti Nebula', a large (3 degrees !) and faint supernova remnant between Taurus and Auriga.

Very nicely done Greg.
Worth looking at the original version and, sheesh, that's a complex knot of filament.

Agree with other comments Greg, one of your best in my opinion. Nicely crisp detail, good background and colour of stars is nice too.

Just off the coast of the Tarantula Nebula.

That is really stunning!!

And an effective focal length of 4m. I can't even imagine how you begin to think about doing that.

Thanks Chris.

It does require some reasonably good seeing which I often get.

Greg.

Thanks Tim. Some images seem to be elusive and others fall into your lap even though you do the same approach.

There's a somewhat random factor in this pursuit.

Greg.

Thanks Greg.
I wonder if it is a bit too far South from here...

Go for it, you know you want to! The LMC is quite high at the moment which is why I chose to image it when working out what to image that night.

Hi Greg,

This is jawdroppingly awesome!

I believe the correct designation would be "LHα 120-N 70"

Or modernised to "LHa 120-N 70" for easier entry into computers
restricting symbols to just ASCII characters.

L = Lamont-Hussey Observatory
Hα (or Ha) - Hydrogen alpha
120 - refers to the survey plate it appeared on (covers the LMC)
N - designates it is a nebula rather than a star (S)
70 - designates the serial number on that plate

Plate 115 covered the SMC.

So there is also a different object in the SMC designated "LHα 115-N 70".

I'd recommend avoiding referring to it as "Henize 70" as there are really
two totally different objects in the Henize catalogue both of which have
the serial number of 70.

SIMBAD recognises "LHa 120-N 70" with the letter "a" in Ha rather
than the Greek symbol for lower-case alpha used in the 1956 Karl Henize paper.

SIMBAD does not recognise "Henize 70" probably for the simple reason
there is no such designation.

Once again, congratulations on an absolutely stunning image!

Best Regards
