The Tarantula Nebula LRGB-HO with CHI-1

The famous Tarantula Nebula (also known as 30 Doradus) is a large HII region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It is the most active starburst region and also one of the largest HII regions known in the Local Group of galaxies.
At the centre of the Tarantula, NGC 2070 (also known as Caldwell 103) is a large open cluster which produces most of the energy that makes the nebula's gas and dust visible.

I tried pure LRGB processing and SHO processing and finally preferred the rendition of broadband and narrowband combination so i used both data sets (LRGB and SHO) from Telescope Live.
