Our nearby galaxy (after Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy) is one of the marvelous sight of the Southern Sky. First spotted by Persian astronomers and afterwards by Amerigo Vespucci, but it was by Ferdinand Magellan on his voyage in 1519 who brought it to popularity. Like many irregular galaxies the LMC is very rich in dust and HII regions. Right now is under a intense process of star formation activity.
The image was taken on November 2011, 108 km away from Buenos Aires Argentina using a TMB 92 L refractor and a QSI 583 WS camera riding in a NEQ6 mount with a total exposure of 2 hours through Baader filters.
