LMC labelled tour

Don't know if this link has been posted before, thought it might be of some use. It's gives a very good round up of many objects in the LMC. The labelled image can be really zoomed in on to give you plenty of objects to track down.

Hi Houghy,

Yup, it's amazing what you can find in there isn't it. Wasn't sure whether it would be better placed under observational or imaging as it fits both, so general seemed to be the go. Look forward to catching up with you at Astrofest this year, only about 70 sleeps to go.

Beautiful. Not the thing I'd have in the field but a great reference.

Now, is there one for the SMC?
