This image shows multiple objects that are very close to the Large Magellanic Cloud in the constellation Dorado. Ngc 2014 (Henize 55) contains a cluster of hot, young stars, almost hidden in the brightest part of the nebula. The energetic ultraviolet light from these stars is absorbed by hydrogen and produces the distinctive red glow from an enormous distance around the cluster. These massive young stars also produce vigorous stellar winds, the effect of this can be seen by the shock waves that billow out like bubbles. To the immediate left of this is.NGC2020, is produced by one star at its center; the interesting colour of the 'bubble' could be from untraviolet radiation.. Left of center is is Ngc 2040, another eye catching & interesting emission nebula.  The striking blue globula cluster to the top R/H corner is Ngc2004.

 Conditions- Average seeing and transparency when taking the lum & Ha. .When taking the colour set, the evening was also average, with moments when the guide star faded.
