Large Magellanic Cloud area :- Do look at this as large as you can

Large Magellanic Cloud area :- Do look at this as large as you can
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Magellanic_Cloud


As I still have the small Rig I went with a suggestion from Carlos, train it on the LMC. This was a good Idea but for the facts it's not in the best position. 1AM the trees sneak into the shot.Add to this the time of year as clouds increase and rain starts.

This is a two shot panorama of the area , and what an area there is just so much in this view it beggars belief. You are looking at also ALL the stars that are in the area there are just so many. This is not seen in the northern Hemisphere I have always included them in my Milky way shots. Bottom whit cloud in the shot the larger.
