Re: [APML] New image: Large Magellanic Cloud

Thanks Chris and Tony!

I think this is one of the most interesting regions of the sky. Itīs well
possible for amateurs to get single stars in another galaxy and the area is
full of different details so that you could spent hours and hours to get all
of these beauties. The problem was that the cloud was too low to the
horizont at the beginning of the night and came up late in the morning that
we didnīt had much time to shoot it.

Chris, we tried to shoot in with the h-alpha filter several times, but
believe me, I didnīt get round stars at any time :-((
