Something Obscure for Me NGC 1763

Hi everyone, I was asked today to image NGC 1763. To be honest I had no idea what this NGC was let alone where it was. Starry night was used to find the object and even this didn't give very much of an idea what I was imaging.
Here is the result. 8 x 10 minute images captured with QHY8 and Vixen VC200L at f9 all frames were calibrated with flats and bias files.

Rather a pretty area above the LMC containing several nice little nebulous areas and a nice cluster.
