Emission Nebula (Henize 70) in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Henize 70 is a peculiar emission nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Initially classified as a supernova remnant, it is now thought to be a Ha emission nebula, or superbubble, due to specific ratios in the emission lines not matching those of supernovae.

Narrowband capture with the following mapping:
-R: Ha
