Wide on Tarantula: A practical short capture

Revision title: Crop and new data

This is a quick capture of this NGC 2070 or Tarantula, a quite common target in the S Hemisphere and, only 50% of the images were used, so to keep only the better ones, that is 1.5 hours. The area is truly rich of star formations zones. I myself captured this region in the past, focusing on some smaller and using NB filters from a remote system. Something that I did, using remote systems, so not to get bored with cloudy nights, and it was some fun, selecting the targets, the filters and so on. Shortly I shall have my own scope equipped with a filter wheel and NB filters together with a monochrome camera.
I noticed that some identification of stars clusters are not identifies in the solved plate, such as the GlCl Hodge 3, the OCLs KMHK 1254, 1137.
The quality of the sky was not quite good, NELM 5.2

Title: Crop and new data

Description: I have added more data into the image and also cropping to the main object. The colours are better and also the background. The images are scaled since there are two different cameras involved, so not the same scale.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
