Thank you to all who replied. Greg, I disliked Flickr before, now I loathe it. I specifically flagged those images as Open Access. I got the Kato image from Flickr in the first place by simply clicking on their link. G-r-r-r . . .
Atmos, I'd like to take you up on your officer to do s specific shoot of the region I need. It is not the LMC itself, but the region beneath the LMC starting in Mensa and angling toward the MW disc at about 4° under the Chameleon's tummy. I will send you the images that Flickr 403'd if you'll email me at
assa.nightfall@gmail.com.
I've been quiet on this forum (also CN) because I'm now the editor of the
ASSA Nightfall Deep Sky web publication. Suddenly I'm waist-deep in writing for it instead of you. If you check it out, the cover image is by your IIS colleague Murray Parkinson.
Thank again to everyone . . .
