Notes: The Tarantula is a giant emission nebula within our neighboring galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is so bright that if it were the same distance as the Orion Nebula it would cast shadows!
The image above is a stack of five 10 minute H-Alpha filtered exposures.
I also took red, green and blue exposures which I will process later.
