Eyes of the Spider - with VLT comparison

Just playing around a bit and altered the blending mode a tad and then zoomed in on the heart of this amazing nebula - NGC 2070 and The Eyes' of the Spider - Super cluster RMC 136

Eye's of the Spider

Comparison with 8m VLT image

Worth noting that no deconvolution was used on this image, these are the stars straight off the chip

Remember this nebula is 170 000 light years away

Moon and smoke...go away
