NGC 1965 final logoThe Large Magellanic Cloud contains a lot of open clusters and nebulosity. The LMC is a close-by galaxy, often considered a satellite galaxy of our own galaxy, but recent studies show that it is just a passer-by. In the future it will leave our surroundings together with the Small Magellanic Cloud. But in the meantime there is more than enough time to image the objects in the LMC.
NGC 1965 is an open cluster embedded in nebulosity. It is not alone in this picture. In the same nebulosity several other open clusters can be seen, NGC 1962, 1966 and NGC 1970. To the right of the nebulosity another compact open cluster NGC 1953 can be seen; to the left of the nebulosity a large open cluster is visible, NGC 2001. See for the exact locations the annotated image in the first comment.
I scheduled 20 missions through the Chile Two telescope with a total exposure time of 37 minutes.
The resulting images are combined and processed in PixInsight.
