A deep field of LMC
Hi Folks,
I am happy to share with you one of the images of the LMC. Well, one can say - another image of this galaxy out of millions  Almost true. Except the fact I tried to take an advantage of being in the middle of Atacama desert and pushed the limits as far as I could do. Did it work or not, you judge. Thanks for looking and enjoy !

Very nice Antu,
It looks as if you've pulled out the faint remnants of the spiral arms of this galaxy in the outer halo.
Great work
Doug

Nice image, never really seen the LMC looking like that, it seems very bright, however the stars are sharp, you have done well.

Antu you have captured a large faint halo around the LMC. Very well done.
Do you have a higher resolution image?

Wonderful detail Antu and to capture the outer arms makes this a very special image indeed.
Your location in the middle of the Atacama desert must be magical for DSO Imaging. Your question was " did it work or not " WOW it sure did
We look forward to you posting more images.

for my personal colors might be a bit more intense.
nevertheless - a splendid image!
BTW:
I have not asked yet - your nick - does this referr to the god(ess) in gilgamesh epos...???
