Dragon's Face Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud

This is a close up of an area in the outer part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. A deep southern sky object known as the "Dragon's Head" or the "Dragon's Face" nebula.

 

This object was imaged during one night from my backyard which tends to have a Bortle 4-5 quality sky.

Integration time was 5 hours and 10 minutes in bi-color, Hydrogen Alpha and OIII narrowband color with a C8 SCT at f6.3 with a QHY268M astronomy camera.
