Description

NGC 1978
This might not be the most spectacular field regarding the visual impact.
Anyway I think it is a very interresting field in the LMC, it contains the eliptic globular cluster NGC 1978 the nebulas NGC 1945 and 1948, and on the bottom the SNR N49.
The image is a plain bicolor Ha OIII with 3 hours exposure time each.
Hope you enjoy it.
Wolfgang
