Another lens widefield image.
This one is 3 hours 10 minutes at F2.8 at my dark site.
I wanted to show the fact that the LMC is a distorted barred spiral and the large sweeping arm at the bottom swings around. You can see some halo above it as well.
LMC widefield, Pentax 67 165mm 2.8, Proline 16803:

Inverted image shows even more the sweeping arm (colour core for orientation),
The Milky Way has distorted this arm. With a bit of imagination some of that arm
appears to be sweeping back towards the Milky Way or towards the viewer that is.
