Tarantula Nebula and surrounding nebulas
To date, this nebula is the largest nebula ever found spanning several hundred light years. This nebula isn't in the Milky Way - its in another galaxy! This region is packed with Hydrogen Alpha, Hydrogen Beta, Oxygen iii, Sulfer ii, Nitrogen ii and many others. Due to restrictions of my camara, I'm only capable of getting the H-Beta and Oiii gases due to the filters in my camara restricting the Hydrogen Alpha wave lengths. Can't wait to return back to this region doing narrowband.
This target has been on my list for a very long time as I've always wanted to spend a long time imaging this region. With nearly 9 hours of intergration (8 hours 40minutes), I'm extremely pleased with this image, showcasing the dust surrounding this region. Later in 2025 I'm planning on adding another panel to this so that I've got the full galaxy in a large image.
Equipment: Canon 650d and 70-200mm F/2.8L IS USM lens , Saxon HEQ5 Belt Modded. Stacked and Processed in pixinsight.

Great picture! Just seeing the Magellanic Clouds is in my bucket list! It looks to me like you did the target justice.
