Superbubble Henize 70
Superbubble Henize 70
Located within the Large Magellanic Cloud, Henize 70 is a "superbubble" of luminous gas with an estimated diameter of 300 light-years.
The object was listed in Karl Henize's Catalogues of Hα-Emission Stars and Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds (1956). Henize discovered over 2,000 stars and was also a NASA astronaut and professor. He died during a Mount Everest expedition while testing equipment for NASA.
This result (from a recent "one-click observation") involved the least amount of data I've ever processed with only 2 frames each of H-alpha, OIII, and SII. The Planewave CDK24 + QHY600 combination has a 0.195 arcsec/px pixel scale!
