Here's a widefield image showing the LMC in relation to the Milky Way.

5 subs of 15 secs @ 1600 ISO. Canon 350D 18mm lens @ F4.5.

Image noise not bad considering 1600 ISO and 21 deg C.

John , thought this image could do with bringing out some more data , felt it was alittle dark , but see what you think

that's beautiful stuff MD. I'm well jealous. Where were you to see the LMC?

Andrew

[moondog]

Glad you like the image.

Rog, I did make the image lighter, but decided to post it as it was. I think it's probably better with more data showing as your edit.

I'm going to post an image of the SMC and Tucanae soon and will crank up the data !

Thanks

Oof!

TBH, I thought the LMC on the first picture was a random smudge on my monitor. :scratch: How wide is this picture, in degrees?

[Kain]

Brilliant, simply brilliant!
