This popular fellow has just cleared the slew limit at nightfall. Surprisingly bright: we could see it in a 1 second exposure with the ED80 guide scope.
NGC 1760, 1763, 1769, etc in the Large Magellanic Cloud. 8 hrs H-alpha in 1 hour subs, 3 from a couple years ago and 5 from last night.

Occupying all but the top left of the image, there is a giant face-on angry bee (Reason: Trish has been photographing a lot of these in the garden). NGC 1769 and NGC 1763 form the bee's eyes. Instead of storing the pollen behind its back legs, this astro-bee has a huge open mouth, full of star-pollen, open cluster NGC 1761. Its diaphenous left wing (our right) is composed of very faint and delicate shock fronts extending up to 1-2 o'clock. NGC 1773 is the smaller bright blob (an aphid perhaps) toward 10 o'clock from the bee.
Fred Vanderhaven has previously named the small bright structure at 3 o'clock as Thor's Other Helmet, for obvious reasons. It is also known as N11.
Aspen CG16M at -30C on 20" PlaneWave CDK. Moon almost full. With summer icumen in, and after a big storm, seeing was 2.2 to 2.8 sec arc. Field 36 min arc across. Original image is 0.55 sec arc/pixel.
