Tarantula Nebula
Hi All,
Attached is my attempt at the Tarantula nebula last night. The globular cluster to the left is NGC 2100.
Overall, I think it came out well. The tarantula has an interesting colour - a very cool looking blue.
There are also other star clusters / globular clusters in the picture including star cluster R136 in the central nebula and NGC 2092 which is the small cluster near NGC 2100.
