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.
Apparent magnitude (V): 7.25
Distance: 157 kly (48.5 kpc)
Apparent dimensions (V): 3.50′ × 3.50′
Constellation: Dorado

Hello Mark. A fantastic Tarantula Nebula image. You did a great job in processing the narrow band data retrieved from the facility in Chile. Beautiful color and wispy nebulosity details in your capture. Thanks for sharing this work with us Mark, and congratulations on winning the TSS APOD Award today.
