NGC2070 Tarantula Nebula LRGB

Hi Guys

Since theres not much else in view for me now, I took some 30hrs of Ha, 10hrs Lum and 4 hrs each of RGB over the last month.

The Ha turned out not suitable for HaRGB, ill use it later in a NB mix.

I also took 5 hrs odd of exposures with a 5nm continuum filter. Its frequency response is just outside Ha, so you get an image with only stars, very usefull for layer masks and selections in PS. This NGC2070 has some Ha stars substituted for overblown and bloomed Lum stars.

The colour is not too saturated, its hard to find a good sample to compare with at this FL (2m). The good ones ive seen dont push the red on this object.

Enjoy
