Hi all
Was after the wierd S shaped nebula around the open cluster NGC 1910 near the centre of the LMC, deep in the "bar" of the LMC. I went deep, 1.5 hours total.
6x15 mins ISO 400, UHCS and MPCC, modded 350D, 10 inch F5.6 Newtonian, hand guided.

There seems to be very few images of this object, particularily colour ones around.
It was an action packed early morning starting from 3 am. First, the rescue chopper flies over on its way to the hospital, then when everything is quiet these strange birds fly round in circles, squaking very loudly, I could just see them , white in colour, they landed in nearby trees and squaked off and on for an hour before taking flight again.
Then I see a tumbling sattelite a sharp series of flashes repeating, then next to that, an irridum flare, then a little while later a much brighter irridum flare, then a west to east heading sattelite with a bright reflection. Gee it was all happening in the sky thismorning. Yet not a single meteor.
