NGC 2070 Tarantula Nebula
Posted: Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:27 am
First time using a remote site. Not as expensive as I thought it would be. Nice getting data from a scope that I could never afford.
Processing was done in Pixinsight.
NGC 2070 (also known as Caldwell 103) is a large open cluster and candidate super star cluster forming the heart of the bright region in the centre-south-east of the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is at the centre of the Tarantula Nebula and produces most of the energy that makes the latter's gas and dust visible.
