N206 is an emission nebula located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The name, N206, is usually given to the complete nebula, but it is also used to mean only a SuperNova Remnant (SNR), located in the nebular complex, in its upper part (bubble-like feature). This image has been taken in narrowband and processed with “natural”-like colors, being Halpha coded as red, and OIII both as green and blue.
