Description

A region of the Large Magellanic including the Tarantula nebula and part of the bar diagonally across the bottom right.

I was surprised how well a very small amount of RGB data came out under very light polluted skies. I was originally intending to do a narrowband image with the RGB data for star colour but a straight RGB image looked pretty good, so I just enhanced it a little with some Ha and Oiii.
