A Rose in the Large Magellanic Cloud

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.

CDK17, FLI Microline 16, AP1600 mount.

It could've had more exposure but this was taken on the one clear night available.
