I have spent a few months collecting data on this object. I think I have collected enough now with a total integration of 32 hours. This is SII Ha OIII with RGB wash for stars and some nebulosity.

This is probably my favourite nebula in the LMC. I imaged this about 2.5 years ago with my wide field setup. I had always planned on imaging it with a narrow field of view and longer focal length.

It is a truly fascinating nebula. It seems most of the shapes have been formed by stellar winds from the O and B stars within the cores and also from supernovae over millions of years. Considering its distance it is very bright as an object. It must be very bright from a similar distance that we are from the M42.

Man that is fantastic...incredibly detailed objectthe colours are gorgeous toonarrow band just excels with some objects...no doubt about It.

Another top job Paul

Such a lovely shot Paul, great resolution and colour!

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Lovely image Paul, greaa benchmark colours for the SMC image im almost finished processing. Love the wider field version too.

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

Very nice Paul. It's good to see these obscure objects getting more attention.

Cheers

Another beauty Paul - your widefield version was my inspiration for this crazy looking object a few years ago - nice to see the closeup details here.
Well done!

Thanks guys for the comments.

Thanks Louie. I think you are right NB does work well with some objects more than others. I think the best is the Eagle nebula.

Thanks Simon, I tried several palette versions before I settled on this, I think my original rendering a few years back of the wide field really influenced that decision though. I am thinking I will go back and try just a straight Hubble palette and see how that sits with me.

Thanks Andy, I am sure this is too drab for your exotic tastes though.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Very fine indeed, Paul. You've managed to keep very good contrast in the super-bright regions.

Excellent work Paul!
Cheers,

A fantastic image Paul. I also find this and what TSX calls the Seagull nebula to be the best nebs in the LMC.

A beautiful photo Paul!

Amazing detail and colour.

Very nicely composed.

I think the best photo I have seen of this region.

Thanks guys for the comments. Nice that you think the image is good.

Very nicely taken image of a complex piece of sky. Wish it was within my range.

Beautifully rich colour! Great structure too with somewhat of a 3D look. Nicely done!

Cheers, Marcus

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Very very nice, wonderful image Paul

[RickS (Rick)]

Love the intricacy of this one, Paul!

Thanks guys for taking the time to comment.

Thanks Kevin. It might well show up with quite long integration with your camera and setup. Though it would be quite red I suspect. Still it might be worth a try.

Great shot, Paul.

Having taken a snapshot of this in RGB a few days ago, the extra detail in this image is eye-opening!

Interesting colour palette also.
