Description

These three SNR in the LMC bar are infrequently imaged.  And its not hard to see why.  They are faint, in a crowded star-field and kind of borderline attractive from afar.  [Thanks R.Mael]  
Of the three the S-shaped NGC1910 is perhaps the most interesting - but all display that characteristic "wind-blown" nature of LMC SNR.  

But with not many other DSOs to image in moonlit November nights from the deep south, I thought they might be worth a shot.  In the end, it 24hours to cover the field with a couple of mosaiced panels.  I am pleased with the result, but it is really at [or beyond?] the limit of my RC8 in a reasonable time.
