Crikey Paddy, those objects in the LMC look waay beyond my scope in suburbia (from your descriptions). So glad to read your observations nevertheless. Beautifully reported with such exquisite detail as usual.
I saw the Ghost of Jupiter the other night, and it is indeed awesome! And so blue! Tho, I didn't see the detail you did though.. what with your 16inch and dark skies
compared to moi in suburbia with a 10".
Thank you so much for sharing your observations- I always look forward to them.
