Nebulae of the LMC.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

Thought I'd try a different approach rather than a mosaic at this stage with the LMC.
This may be of use to fellow astro photographers that may want to image some of these nebulae of the LMC, as they seem rarely imaged.

I've provided a link to my photobucket site that shows a larger image.

Great idea Justin, I would love to get first light on the new camera at either the Bean or the Dragons Head, but with new equipment comes the dreaded cloud curse.

Thanks Justin!

Your 16" should be ideal for LMC nebula, can't wait to see the results.
