Description

This image is a work in progress. It is planned to be a 2-panel mosaic of our beautiful neighboor galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Yesterday [as of posting date] I managed to capture a few frames - only 48 minutes in total. The data from the central "main" region was added from 2018's. The total integration is only 98 minutes, but I was happy with the result and decided to publish it as a work in progress. My objective is to at least duplicate this time in the following imaging opportunities, but, for now, this is a quick view on the LMC =D.

For a detailed description on both the object and on the story behind the image, I recommend checking 2018's image of LMC

Constructive criticism, comments and suggestions are more than welcome in the comments section. Thank you for taking your time to look at this image!
