Large Magellanic Cloud - NGC 2070

This is a central part of the LMC focusing on the Tarantula Nebula. It is at a FL of 270mm at F4.5. Askar V 60mm. Its about 26.5 hours with ASI 533 Mono using Antlia 3nm narrowband filters. Ideally I wanted more data (don't we all!) but I think its enough looking at the low noise and considering its FL. Like everyone who images this, its difficult to process as its so diverse, however having 3 channels to paly with helps a lot. I attempted to get the star mass in, and also the larger nebulosity of the region.

normally I would post a pic but because this is at 270mm fl @60mm its not going to do it any justice - so her eis the link to the high res.
