Image Description and Details : Tarantula Nebula, NGC 2070

One of the most amazing things in the entire sky - and only seen from the Southern Hemisphere - the Tarantula Nebula NGC 2070 in the Large Magellan Cloud is so large and bright that if it were as close as the Orion Nebula, it was cast shadows at night!

This is a SHO blend with RGB stars, taken over 12 nights through Oct-Nov 2022
