Its great these nebulas around the LMC are being imaged so much in the last year. You never saw images of these nebs just a few years ago.

Greg.

Thanks very much Greg, really appreciate your taking the time to comment. I think I'll keep nosing about in the LMC & SMC for more of these interesting and rarely imaged targets.

Also, for plate solving, you might like to check out getting astrometry.net working locally on your Mac: http://astrometry.net/use.html

Thanks Lazjen - I'll have a look at Astrometry.net and see if I can make it work.

Colour selection was interesting - after many variations, I eventually settled on this combination where the data was mapped as follows ...

Ha - Red,
Green - Green
Blue - Blue
SII - Hue/saturation PS285

I've attached a snapshot of the Layers in PS. The stars are a separate RGB layer over the top.
