24 panel mosaic covering the entire LMC at 2 arc sec/pix. 5 min subs for a total 36 hours imaging. Taken with f/6 360mm, L-extreme and AZGTi mount with guiding. Bortle 7 sky. Mosaic planned in Telescopius and composed with MS-ICE.

Link below to better resolution. I have reduced the filesize as much as sensible but it still struggles to load on my computer:

According to astrometry.net, there are 285 known objects (looks like a further 50 or so including some large areas that are not designated) in this FOV. I can post the solved image if anyones interested.
