Love this area with all the young blue stars as well.
Quite a bit of dust showing up through out the galaxy too.
Haven't seen this before.

Superb and well worth the wait

All the best
Rich

Hey Rich! Thanks mate. The region has a bit of everything, but could probably do with a little more reflection neb to keep you happy. The dust across the galaxy bar is pretty cool.

Not enough superlatives anyway.

Cheers Alex. Only limited by the imagination. Have to say I found your LMC/SMC wide field image taken down Wilson's Prom inspirational. Was good to see the spacial relationship between the two.

Thanks Werner. Let me tell you at times it feels like the project will never be complete. Planning, data acquisition and processing seems like an eternity with mosaics.

In your full size LMC image I wonder if that is a galaxy at coordinate 1397, 1840 (with 0,0 being at the top-left corner of the image) ?

Thank you kindly Terry. Tempted to revisit the SMC as I'm sure I would process it differently today. You've got hawk eyes for picking out the galaxy at the pixel coords you mention. Its NGC1809 coming in at mag 12. Please refer to attachment below. Let me know if the field is incorrect and I'll track it down. The scene is full of faint clusters and galaxies. Interesting what dark skies and 4" aperture can squeeze out. Thanks again.

Thanks for checking it out and making comment Doug. Need to get out of the DSLR mindset - you've got what it takes on the processing front as exhibited in your LMC rendition.

Cheers Rob. Plenty to see in the scene. A remote automated set up helps considerably in the data collection process.

Thanks all. I appreciate your support.
