IMG_4534 Large Magellanic Cloud from Ciudad de Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

Found it immediately in the sky this time (see the photo below to read how I accidentally saw the MCs for the first time in 2007), but seeing wasn't as good. It was much warmer this time, and Perito Moreno has a lot more dust in the air than El Chaltén.

 

I have a bunch of frames.... if I ever get a usable install of Windows again, I'll try running them through DeepSkyStacker.
