A Rose in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Also known as LH120-No70 so yes rather obscure but often seen in widefield LMC images. I have always thought it was a pretty shaped nebula. Thanks to Rick - its Henize 70.

I did a bit of a search but couldn't find out much about it. It looks like a supernova remnant but it also could be the result of a Wolf Rayet star.
Perhaps someone knows something about it.

CDK17, FLI Microline 16, AP1600 mount.

Ha RGB image.

It could've had more exposure but this was taken on the one clear night available.

Greg.

One of the best images you've churned out in a while Greg.

Very nice....very nice indeed.

Thanks very much Peter.

The KAF16200 sensor is APSh size so this is really about 4.2 metres of equivalent focal length as its quite a small little nebula in most widefield images.

Hi Greg,
That is a lovely shot. Everyone (including me) tends to go for the tarantula, and this little beauty is just waiting on the side lines.

Cheers
Peter

Great image, Greg. Henize 70 is usually categorised as a superbubble: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbubble

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks Peter. There are several wonderful nebulas surrounding the LMC.
The problem with a lot of them is that they require long focal length to really show them up and they are not that bright. I imagine that is why they tend not to be imaged that often. But there have been some wonderful images on this site of several of the better nebs in the LMC.
I'd go so far as to say this site has been extending the imagery of these nebulas more than anywhere else.

Thanks for finding that Rick. Interesting. There are a couple of other super bubbles nearby as well. A violent area of space it seems.

Greg.

Yes, having sold my 8300, I've been pondering a 16200 based camera for a while now. Convincing the one that must be obeyed is the tricky bit

Thanks Colin. I agree its there but often quite small.

Hehe, keep trying . Its a superb sensor like a smaller 16803 and the 6 micron pixels suit a lot of scopes.

Greg.

Excellent shot of H70 Greg, love the detail in this little blighter, something I've wanted to hit with the AG12 too nicely processed, not a biggy at all but is there a tad of up down elongation I see or is it my eyes

Deffo one that likes some image scale, you can compare to what it looks like at 3.5"/pix

You've done well with that little puppy Greg!
It rarely takes centre stage, but here it is in all it glory with not less than six star clusters in support and it's a fascinating object too - so well done to you!

Thank you. I was wondering what I could image as there was a half moon. It turned out better than I expected.

Thanks Andy. The star clusters and stars in general in this area are quite pretty.

Greg.
