Henize 70

Hi

have been using twilight and a bit of moonlit time to assemble some Ha and a little O3 on Henize 70 in the LMC.

Nothing technically special, but the object is interesting, with violent origins and a huge extent (300ly). The red star is an M class variable with a 3200k colour temperature, so the colour is probably about right, if somewhat unusual.

thanks for looking. regards Ray
