Along came a Spider...

Hi folks, here is my latest take on NGC 2070 - The Tarantula Nebula in Narrowband.

3nm Astrodon Filters mapped O3 = Red, N2 = Green, S2 = Blue
1800sec subs, 11x O3, 8x N2, 21xS2 & some RGB stars.

Data captured both at a desert dark sky site in Nhill, Victoria & from my backyard in Melbourne.

I always wanted to fit most of the nebula and it's wispy spider web tendrils in the frame, so the little SV70T has allowed me to do that at last.

Tone mapped using a variation of J-P Metsavainio's method.
The colour palatte was deliberately chosen for a more "spooky/spidery" look, and the image was inspired by Bert's from a few years ago.

Hope you like it, thanks for looking!
