Hi Doug,
Thank you for the great compliment, and you put it perfectly, for visual observer and astrophotographer alike, when you wrote that it is consistently surprising in the beauty of those knots and bubbles of nebulosity throughout the region. No matter how often I looked at an object, the next time I observed it, its beauty would surprise me once again. I can’t see ever tiring of observing this most magnificent of galaxies. Your image is fabulous… I spent the most wonderful time with it revisiting all my favourite LMC haunts on this rainy afternoon. I hope you keep in touch, I would love to see all your LMC images!
Hi Joe,
Thank you for the welcome and the lovely comments! I agree, the LMC is an observers’ paradise… from naked eye on up. Just as an interesting naked eye aside, I have met a number of old Kalahari farmers who still refer to it and the SMC as the Cape Clouds, and one great old chap gave me the best side-eyed glance when I “mistakenly” referred to it as the Large Magellanic Cloud! Am looking forward to some observing reports!
Hi Bojan,
Thanks for the thanx!
