Hi to all

Here's an image of a group of Open Clusters in the LMC centered on NGC 2065. I've been thinking of imaging these for quite a while as the field looks interesting. I had hoped to get deeper Ha data but the weather has become unreliable again so I thought I would post it as is. I guess the result is not as spectacular as other areas of the LMC but it's something different. I'm not sure of the identification of the nebula at the top.

Cheers

Steve

That's really nice Steve! I am going to be hitting this area soon so I think this'll be a bit of a bench mark for me to aim for :)

Thanks Colin. I'm sure yours will be spectacular.



Thanks Rick. Something a bit different I guess.

That's great Steve. Those little globulars as scattered all throughout that area. Nice one indeed.

Thanks Rodney.Actually I think they are open clusters but it's often a fine distinction in the LMC.
