I took a look at the Large Magellanic Cloud with my 10" telescope last night and was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of celestial objects are in the LMC? Thanks

if I remember correctly, which maybe wrong, there's been tours of the LMC in the observations section. or was it the SMC. worth a try looking in there....also there's a website http://www.cloudsofmagellan.net.au/downloads.html

The LMC (and SMC) is a fascinating area to observe. I've been trying to image it but been unable to lock onto any guide stars to get decent exposure times. Also being so close to the SCP means very little movement for calibration. I should just switch to wide field with the DSLR but I've been trying o capture the nebulosity around Tarantula.
Paddy's charts in Matts link above are excellent if not a little daunting when you see how much is there.
