The Tarantula Nebula - Pseudo RGB Narrowband
The Tarantula Nebula is a Southern sky object on the edge of and within the Large Megellanic Cloud (LMC), located about 160,000 LY away.
This image was captured across multiple nights between end of October and first half of November 2019.
This image consists of the same narrowband data as used for the SHO version except that the SII/HII were used as RED and the GREEN and BLUE channels from OIII subs were used as their real colors. The end result ended up looking way too red so I toned down the red hue to finish on this photo of the Tarantula Nebula.
Image taken through a 8" SCT using a full spectrum modded and cooled DSLR.
