NGC 2070 ZWO ASI 071 Pro

[benklerk]

The Tarantula Nebula has an apparent magnitude of 8. Considering its distance of about 160,000 light-years away, this is an extremely luminous non-stellar object. The nebula resides on the leading edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Tarantula Nebula got its name because its glowing filaments of dust resemble the legs of a spider. It is a giant starburst region where the energy from the bright, hot young stars creates huge voids and filaments in the surrounding clouds of gas.

Although some might argue it is over saturated, I do like the punch of the star colours!

That has come out well Ben. The various clusters in the image are well resolved at well.
