That is one of the very best Tarantula's I've seen. The detail is simply stunning.

The core is a little blown out but it's still a great image
& a surprisingly large FOV.
Well done.

Excellent image! while I guess others may comment on how to reduce the brightness of the central region, the overall impact, and general vista is superb .

Nice image! The Shadow highlights tool would reduce the brightness of the central region.

Cheers

Hi Enrique great image plenty of fine detail in all those objects. I did not see the first version but there is no bright core now, if anything it looks a little flat to my eye, still is a great image.
Clear skies Ken.

Yes - the core has been changed - it looks great now.

Any chance of seeing a much larger image? 17 hours of data ought to be displayed a lot bigger than this image.

Overall it looks nice but I cannot really see much.

The black coal dust stops light pollution. It is one of the secrets of Singleton......... I am glad you liked the image.
