Description

The Tarantula Nebula is one of my favorite targets in the southern skies, and is on my list of targets every summer.

This is a 2 panel mosaic taken over 6 nights spread over a two week period - strong nightly winds in Perth caused quite a lot of subs to be discarded despite the scope being sheltered in a roll off roof shed.

This image was obtained using narrowband filters and was processed with RGB stars.
