For those who don`t know ... the LMC is a not so well known neighbouring galaxy to our milkyway. That means, this nebula is not in the milkyway. It`s one of the biggest and most active starburst region known in the Local Group of galaxies. Most of you may know the famous Orion Nebula (M42) which is one of the closest starburst regions to earth. To give you a hint how large the Tarantula Nebula is: Would it be at the same distance to earth as the Orion Nebula it would span across half of the night sky and i would never be dark if it shows up. The LMC is only visible from the Southern hemisphere. Shot from Kiripotib in Namibia!

I pictured it from the darkest sky available completely without filters to get the natural colours and to reveal the faint dust clouds around it. The entirety of the Orion Nebula extends across a 1° region of the sky, and includes neutral clouds of gas and dust, associations of stars, ionized volumes of gas, and reflection nebulae. I also did an HDR image to avoid burning out the core, which is so much brighter than the rest. From Wikipedia: The Nebula is part of a much larger nebula that is known as the Orion molecular cloud complex. The Orion molecular cloud complex extends throughout the constellation of Orion and includes Barnard's Loop, the Horsehead Nebula, M43, M78, and the Flame Nebula. Stars are forming throughout the entire Cloud Complex, but most of the young stars are concentrated in dense clusters like the one illuminating the Orion Nebula.

It`s an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away from earth.Due to its hydrogen-rich clouds, NGC 6188 is a region of active star formation, and its structure is shaped by the powerful stellar winds of the young and massive stars within.The glowing bipolar planetary nebula, NGC 6164, is visible at the bottom of the frame, which many refer to as the "dragon's egg".Took it in Namibia and it`s an RGBHOO Image.

But for me it looks like an eye with a dolphin as eyebrow. At least if one emphasises the OIII line as I did. This is a so called HOO image, taken with a full frame cooled astro mono cam and a Ha-Narrowband-Filter and a OIII-Narrowband-Filter. The stars were taken with RGB-Filters. The OIII-line is represented by the blue colours and the Ha-line by the redish ones. Wolf-Rayet 134 is the brightest white star in the center of the eye. Wolf-Rayet-Stars are extremely hot, bright, massive stars, and one of the rarest classes of stars known out there. There are not even 200 of these stars known in the Milkyway which hosts more than 1 Billion of stars. Some of these Wolf-Rayet-Stars produce spectacular nebulae thanks to their strong stellar winds, intense ultraviolet emissions, and clouds of gasses that they shed in earlier stages of their relatively brief lives.

Sometimes referred to as the "Flying Bat" nebula, this region is characterized by Ha emission as well as a small, mixed emission and reflection nebula (vdB 140). What is most remarkable about this region is a recent discovery made in 2011 by Nicolas Outters, called the "Squid Nebula" due to its shape, but more officially called Ou4. This region is characterized by a very faint OIII emission that has a bipolar shape reminscent of a planetary nebula, seen as the teal-colored region in the image looking like a squid, hence the name. Although it was originally thought to perhaps represent a planetary nebula derived from an unknown, dying star, more recent evidence suggests that Ou4 is located within SH2-129 itself and is a bipolar outflow emitting in the OIII spectrum, moving at the same rate as SH2-129, and possibly emanating from a triple star system located in the center of Ou4 (HR8119, visible above as the bright star in the center of the Squid).

It is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula (the reddish-pink part), a reflection nebula (the blue portion), and a dark nebula (the apparent 'gaps' in the former that cause the trifurcated appearance, also designated Barnard 85 from Wikipedia). This is the natural colour palette. Normally I am of the opinion that we amateur astro photographers are more into doing art than science - so the colour is a little bit of artistic freedom. espescially when doing narrow band imaging. However this object is really beautiful and I had enough high quality broadband data so I decided to spectro photometric colour calibrate it to get the coulors as natural as possible.
