NGC 1818 - A trip INSIDE LMC - Awe ! Aweful ! Amazing !

The image has many noise, I know. It is intentional. I can't destroy data from faint clusters.

For travel inside LMC you must see the photo in full resolution mode in Astrobin, with 4290 x 2856 pixel - 1.6 Mbytes.

Forget the noise and search for all cluster and structures. The LMC wake up recently (ok, some millions year ago - nothing in astronomy). It has many areas with intense stars formation.

This galaxy is a mystery. Unknown, yet. A fossil of the early days of the formation of the Universe that was kindled by the gravity of the Milky Way.

Amazing and aweful !

I am working in crop areas of this region. I found 9 areas with clusters. When they are ready I will post here. I must work with much attention to don't destroy datas.

If any one want try to process better the image I can dispose the original CR2 files or Autosave.tif 32 bits from DSS or the HDR convertion in Photoshop of Autosave.tif - 16 bits.

Sorry by the frustation because of noise and lack of quallity. I work with a stock T3 Canon.

note: I found some alone very red stars. They seems to be near the final life. Future Planetary Nebulas ? ! ?


Only one photo is supported by IceInSpace due the file size, up to now. I used it in Astronometry.net to confirm the identification of known objects.
