Paddy, I read somewhere that the LMC contains over 400 individually observable objects. Is this true? I know it's a treasure trove, but 400 in a few square degrees of sky?!?!?
cheers and don't let the clod bugs bite! |
Thanks Sab.
There are heaps of things to browse in the LMC. My charts at Clouds of Magellan
http://http://www.cloudsofmagellan.net.au/ have about 490 LMC objects which are pretty well all observable in 10-16" scopes and most in 8". Mind boggling.
