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.
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.

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.

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
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 Mike. Yes its one you could do nicely with the AG12.

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