NGC1760 Bean Nebula - Bi Colour

NGC1760 is parked quite happily in the LMC, just across the way from the Spider, and its huge. Its a very active star forming area and if you like scale, with my setup I can "just" get M42 in the FOV, and that's 1500 light years away. This little sucker, even with a 50% crop, if 160,000 light years away. The cluster in the center is NGC1761, 50 of the biggest stars in the LMC.

This is my first crack at NB bicolour and yes, its a bit mono... When I searched here I found Freds take on this which is just awesome but this object doesn't come up much on Bing/google apart from Annie Astro and a Gendler image


Details
32 subs @1200sec, GSO RC8 with an STL6303E, Processed in PI and PS

Thanks for looking
